P38 Ongoing starting issue

I have a P38 V8 which has had an going issue with starting.

With a brand new battery it will start. However after about a month it will fall to start with all the signs of a flat battery. Once is charged as soon as the ignition (without trying to start it) is turned on the volts will drop away. There is no draw on the battery when the vehicle is parked.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? From what I have read from other posts one thing I will check is the earth from battery. Prasumably this goes direct to the chassis?

I will drop test the battery to see if it has failed in the intervening month. Never the less over time it will fall to start by something which seems to drain the battrey.

Any advice greatly recivived. I will report back.

Regards, Tom
