any one got a clue why occasionally the coil light either comes on or stays on even in good weather....not to say it will not go out, but on a journey home, the warning light came on......forgot about it to be honest, and next time was fine. 

 however there is also an apparent drain on the battery of about 1.7 amps.  RAC said battery was fine, and found that drain...not clue where coming from.  There was also a faulty radio, which did not know whether it was on or off with a mind of its own....some work had been done, and both the radio and the reversing camera were suspect, also some of the internal 12volt wiring had been proving a prob.  however, with all the 12volt switched off from leisure batteries, drain was still there from vehicle battery.

it will only last 3 - 4 days at most - so cant't put it back in storage - put it on hook-up, now and again, and battery keeps topped up from 240volt....hence if on site hookups, is not a problem, but wild, or standard camping would be an issue.

are the two things likely to be connected?

anyone got a clue?

am pretty financially challenged at the moment

your coil light is almost certainly the glow plug relay they are prone to playing up on the sprinter although the van will start just fine.

I f you feel you want to change it go to europarts they are selling the for £60.00 ish.

thanks guys

given me somewhere to start anyway
