Do you have a remote weather station at home, or some other wireless device which may be keeping it awake?

Is it an air-suspended variant? I have heard of cases where the suspension system flattens the battery by continually running - admittedly not on a Range Rover, but there's always a first time for everything.

if the keys are out the ignition the pump cant run,BUT the valve black & sensors can still open to level it out so if its windy & the motor is rocking it will A go down on the suspension eventually & B might drain the battery

The system self-levels for about a minute then it only checks again every 6 hours, unless the relay is faulty then EAS will not flkatten a battery.  Arte you sure you don't just need another?

My money would be on one of your neighbours having an Oregon Scientific weather station or similar;  or you're near a big radar installation.

if its doing it every time, then before trying to start from cold next time put hand on alternator and see if it feels a bit warmer than other underbonnet stuff, something to do with the charging cct not going open circuit when ignition is off can cause it to drain battery quite quickly!
