Could swapping wires red/yellow on stereo cause drain problem when I bought head unit from  Halfords they said it wouldn't make any difference but now I'm not so sure 

A radio memory supply current is very low so shouldn't flatten a new battery, if you carry out the checks listed in that link, that will eliminate the alternator as the cause for draining the battery.

 

Have a look at this also

Similar problem to yours, and the fault finding methods will be the same for your car
