I really hope someone can help me for the love of god,
Bought my 2009 3.6tdv8 l322 150,000 last weekend, after I got it home it started throwing all kinds of faults so I guessed old battery so I swapped it for a spare all was fine for a few miles until it happen again so I viewed the live data and realised the alternator had give up. So I've had the alternator replaced with a denso one and a fresh battery (non AGM) yesterday, it was spot on after the replacement but after covering around 30/33 miles got everything warning under the sun come up again including going into limp mode again but they would clear and the car would run perfectly once I'd turned it on and off, but after a couple miles same again & again & again on my 6 mile drive home. Spoke to the mechanic who done the work and a local specialist both said it sounds battery related and I should have a AGM one on there. So went and got a AGM battery which easily covers the spec/size required, car was driving lovely 0 lights/issues then again after 30/33 miles all the warnings and in limp mode but turn it on and off then it's fine again.
When it's starts playing up it's still sounds and runs lovely obviously it's in limp mode though, and when it isn't in limp mode it's runs beautifully as well so I'm at a loss, am I missing something? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME
Fyi battery/alternator is at around 14v whilst running
