That is an interesting result and one to remember. :)

Sorry, I missed what the problem was originally but I'm intrigued... which wee green sensor? sounds like a magic fix!
 
Tried again.. heated seats front and rear, heated screens, headlights and heater blower on max, 13.2 at 2000 rpm
Left ignition and lights on for a couple of mins, engine off, then started up and my amp clamp said around +77A on the red battery wire so the alternator is definitely doing something
I've no clue how old the battery is or if the ecu was reset when the battery was changed.. i know it changes the charging profile but don't really know how our what to look for

Have you looked in SDD to see what battery number you are on?

Fitted the towbar armarture. Its a witter kit with 7 pin scotch connectors, going to get pros to fit 13 pin electrics with proper module and ecu update etc etc
 
Took family down to imperial war museum Duxford, Range rovers really are great cruisers, took nice and steady managed, showed 34.4mpg, worked out it’s done 33.2 so quite accurate not bad for a old td6. Definitely worth the 3 1/2 hour drive down too. Great place to spend a day.

No, didn't know it was counted! I'll have a look.
Watched the voltage on a longer driver.. it starts up idling at 12.9 then slowly creeps up over 5 mins or so so i think the alternator is fine, just doing its thing.
