Merry Xmas all nothing changes just had to pop out in car 4.6 1999 and got gear box fault and traction fault message tried starting again at home battery dead could it b lo battery charge that put up the fault cheers in advance

tarphenry · Dec 26, 2015

almost certainly low battery voltage problem

pete12345 · Dec 26, 2015

Cheers for that started car now will give it a run put bit of charge in the battery

pete12345 · Dec 26, 2015

No joy with that plan drove 200 yards and it cut out getting all the fault messages now somebody close to me got 1 of these and he said it happened to him needed new alternater any ideas much appreciated

Vinlander · Dec 26, 2015

Sounds good to me. Check voltage at batt and alt to confirm. May just be knackered battery not taking/maintaining charge.

pete12345 · Dec 26, 2015

Ok thanks how do I check the voltage at the alternator

brianp38dse · Dec 26, 2015

If you can start it check to see what voltage you have at 2000rpm with lights and every thing on should be about 14+ volts if not sounds like alternator proberly regulator pack on back.

pete12345 · Dec 26, 2015

Can I just replace regulator pack on the back of the alternator then

brianp38dse · Dec 26, 2015

I believe you can, Wammers is the man in the know, he seem to know all the part no and set voltages.

pete12345 · Dec 26, 2015

Ok cheers will try to start it in the morning after a good charge

pete12345 · Dec 27, 2015

Have tied to do the alternator test car started with battery charged put lights on to to try test alternator but it just cut out before I could get tester on it does this sound like new alternator needed

pete12345 · Dec 27, 2015

Sorry forgot to post couldn't turn fan on when car was running either

pete12345 · Dec 27, 2015

Thanks for the eBay item number tomcatalan I've orderd one

pete12345 · Dec 27, 2015

Hopefully that will cure prob or get a new alternator is there a separate fuse for the alternator

Saint.V8 · Dec 27, 2015

What voltage are you getting on the battery prior to starting?

pete12345 · Dec 27, 2015

Will have a fully charged battery again in the morning

Saint.V8 · Dec 28, 2015

Once charged...check the standing voltage after 30 minutes off charge.....battery could easily be duff.....a battery test like a shunt or drop test would better indicate condition of the battery...

Most odd faults on the Range Rover brand can be traced to weak batteries or lack of Alternator charge.

pete12345 · Dec 28, 2015

Just done a test on car 13.8 v running turned all lights and heater on and it dropped to 11v checked all the connections and earth all tight

Saint.V8 · Dec 28, 2015

Alternator fecked or battery duff dragging Alternator output down......

More than likely duff alternator, charge should be above 14.4V engine running (debate exists on exact figure from 14.2 to 14.8V - but yours is way off and is wrong)
