Flat battery

What am I doing wrong, lock up car in the driveway and all good for weeks but leave it in my barn unlocked with the keys in the ignition and battery goes flat after a couple of days. This has happened a couple of times now so checked last time that I'd left nothing on and battery still goes flat. Obviously something is draining the battery but can't figure what it is. Any suggestions please.

I may be wrong but if you leave the keys in the ignition and unlocked the car never goes into sleep mode so everything stays active and that is what is killing the battery Thumbs Up

Key in for 5 hrs & mine was down to 7 volts . Land Rover Assistance advised me of the issue 12 years ago ,Its a pity the warning isn't in the handbook . You will probably need to get a new battery sooner than later, they are not designed for deep discharge.
