Newbie urgent help supercharged 55 reg problems

smiffyvw · Jul 26, 2024

Hi guys

I've just brought my dream car after some one wrote off my BMW.
I have a 55 reg 4.and half litre supercharged range rover I believe
New battery as other one was dead .I drove it 4 mile home and it started flashing a battery light then all types of lights abs air suspension ect that's all fine I guess. She has flattered the battery now . I'm getting codes for crank shift sensors of the cheap machine you plug in could this be the fault?
Do I need a bigger battery . Or is altonater? I'm pretty handy with cars but this is time when I need help . Also if is the crank shaft sensors were are they located. Any one help please

First off, delete your phone number unless you like being inundated with SPAM calls.
Sounds like the battery is not being charged. First step is to check that the earth strap from engine to chassis is intact and not corroded. If not that that it's likely to be the alternator.

If you bought it off a dealer the engine and drive-train is guaranteed for 6 months. Don't touch a thing but take it back to them.

Private sale is trickier but work through the electrical troubleshooting guide.
