Monaro battery problems

EVER since we bought our 2003 Monaro CV8, which has now done 24,000km, the battery has been going flat. It may last for a few weeks or it may happen several times in a week. A Holden technician has looked at it and told us we don't drive it enough. It even went flat two days after a 900km trip. We were told to drive the car for 20 minutes every day, but even that doesn't help. Sounds like rubbish to me.

SOUNDS like rubbish to me, too. Your car clearly has a problem. Take it to an auto-electrician and get them to check it.
