10 x too much then.

Battery is at 13.28volts after overnight charge so it looks like the battery is not at fault.

This might be too obvious. Is the ECU constantly on? If you unplug it, does all the drain disappear?

Nope. The T20's on now so further update tomorrow.

Airbag light and speedo sensor are clearly two separate faults so new thread started for help with the parasitic loss.
