As above, that radio shouldn't cause battery drain.

Is it that it's slow to turn over or does the car splutter a bit when starting? As many suffer with that.

Otherwise it could just be a tired battery as it's getting a little more chilly in the mornings. Get a decent one with plenty of oomph!

Varta Silver or Bosch S5 have my vote.
How old are the sparkies and coil packs?

I had the exact same problem.

Next time your engine is cold. Go out in dark light and watch the highline MFD display. Guarantee it dulls with every turn over of the engine.

Get a new battery coming into winter months to give you peace of mind.
