Short circuit in the alternator?! the regulator? whatever... both doesn't sound good.

Do I need to wrap my car batt in a fire blanket for prevention? Is this the new old'boxster bug, could be wrong but seen quite a few posts related to drain during the last year or so.

Glad Dark* sorted it out at the end, annoying bug from the look of this thread :/
