Needs charging againP38 started at first asking again this morning in freezing temperature...had to scrape ice off windows. Looks like I TOTALLY dodged a bullet. Just checked battery voltage again - it's sat around 12.4v most of today, but eagerly starts at turn of key.
Thanks to each of you who chipped-in with your sage advice.

Think it's actually the dash cluster itself, does that have a fan?Something makes a noise.. i can't isolate it.. could be a coil in a relay somewhere.. really don't know
There is no fan in the instrument cluster or anywhere else for that matter. Relays can emit a hum when they are getting past their best.Think it's actually the dash cluster itself, does that have a fan?
Then something goes click.. relay under the drivers seat? and the hum stops.. no, scratch that.. something in or near the dash cluster clicks off
I'm house & menagerie sitting for a Lady friend Keith and having to park too far away for me to carry the battery indoors to charge again. I've used it quite a bit today, with it firing up immediately every time. I'll charge it up again when I get home in a few days Keith. I've had a couple of the "TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT" dash messages, but each time it happened, the volt meter readout was north of, or around 13+ volts.Needs charging again

Yup! Seen it several times whilst battery voltage was low John, but not when it was over 13v. First time was towards end of climbing up long'ish hill, second time shortly afterwards.Transmission overheat is usually battery related
Dodgy battery, faulty alternator, I once had loose battery terminal causing itYup! Seen it several times whilst battery voltage was low John, but not when it was over 13v. First time was towards end of climbing up long'ish hill, second time shortly afterwards.
I'll double-check the tetminals tomorrow, as I've had issues with +ve terminal previously. Cheers matey. You can keep your job next week ¦~}Dodgy battery, faulty alternator, I once had loose battery terminal causing it

Mine has had a split in it for as long as I've owned it. It's such a chunky bugger to replace, so I've not bothered thus far.+ve on mine aswell. Found loosening off the tapping down onto terminal before retightening cured it
Thanks for the job offer
The sensor does also fail and/or suffer from corroded connections.I'm house & menagerie sitting for a Lady friend Keith and having to park too far away for me to carry the battery indoors to charge again.

Where is the sensor's natural habitat Keith? Please reply with video using your best David Attenborough impression ¦~}The sensor does also fail and/or suffer from corroded connections.
sorry, no idea, I would have to look at RAVE. Failures have been reported a number of times on LZ.Where is the sensor's natural habitat Keith? Please reply with video using your best David Attenborough impression ¦~}
Thanks Keith. I have downloaded several copies of RAVE over the years, but each time it failed to open after doing so.sorry, no idea, I would have to look at RAVE. Failures have been reported a number of times on LZ.
I'll have a look, the V8 is not something I know about.Thanks Keith. I have downloaded several copies of RAVE over the years, but each time it failed to open after doing so.
