Have finally taken delivery of my Range Rover hybrid.
Took it out for a test drive today and somethings...not right. First off, it won’t idle and tick over. As soon as I take my foot off the accelerator, it does.
I know the alternator is buggered and isn’t putting out any voltage, but the battery is in top condition.
Would either of these two be related?
There is a very slight hill to get out of our village and I had to put it in first to even get it up that. Feels very underpowered. Had to keep putting my foot down and slipping the clutch just to get it up the hill!!
I’ve noticed that the fuel pump is always clicking too - should they always be making that noise? I thought that when the fuel pump was working fully, the clicking/pumping noise would stop? Am I wrong?
I’ve attached a photo of the engine below for reference.
Am completely new to v8’s so any advice on what to check would be hugely apprecited.
Cheers all,
Rob.
