... leaving a car in with the ignition in the accessory position?
My dad mentioned it earlier when I was just his MINI lighter to pump up the tyres on my Pug but I think it may refer to really really old cars... just made me curious and if anyone knows it's you guys... ;D

Unless there's some dodgey wiring involved, leaving the ignition on ACC. will only drain the battery dependant on what devices you have running, simply because they will be powered from the battery directly, seeing as the car isn't running.
Leaving the ignition at ON, is a different story, dependant on your car, that can burn out starter solenoids or coils apparently.

yeah i've had a ignition coil burn out on an aircooled VW, had the stereo wired in so it'd only play with the ignition on and then decided i wanted some music at a show...... for 3 hours. luckily it was a show with an autojumble

ISO is for pussies.... this baby was hardwired into the fusebox (i have to point out it was the previous owner who did such a thing - i always put an ISO connector on my stereo installs where possible, and use only the highest quality sellotape over the twisted-wire joints)

iso's are great, i had a friend with a hard wired jvc cd player that got stolen, along with half the loom! and guess who had to fit the new stereo and get it working? lol that was a pain, i always use iso's now. saves messing with circuit testers too!
