Why does my Peugeot 106 Battery keep going flat?

My P106 1500 Diesel keeps getting a flat battery, even after standing for only an hour or two. Problem is intermittant, it can stand for days and be fine and then you leave it for 2 hours after a journey and it is flat! Dead Flat!!
Battery is new and has been checked. I have replaced the Alternator and chcked internal and boot lights etc...
Anyone any ideas?

Peugeot Peugeot 106 Vehicles, Cars Battery Going Flat

you may need another alternator as it sounds like the battery is being drained. i had this problem on my car recentley. they discovered that my alternator was to powerfull 4 the starter motor. try second hand and if that dont work u havent wasted loads of cash,,,, good luck

Sounds like you have a intemettent parisictic draw ........
Make sure everything is off and you can use a volt meter or test light .....take positive or neg cables off battery and connect test light ..one side to disc battery cable and one side to battery ....if test light comes on you have a drain .....if no light comes on open a door to make sure its working ..when door is open the light should come on because interior lites will cause drain
