After having my N reg classic taken from me after a BMW decided to drive into it, I am finally back in the RR fold after a few years with a P38 DSE on a W plate.
Mechanically it seems fantastic, I realised why I missed a rr so much, but of course there are issues with electrics!
1. Orange lights coming on and draining the battery, I am aware this may be RF, so willing just to change it, but it hasn't done it at my house yet where there is plenty of wireless interference about (was at parents house this weekend) so may be related to next issue...
2. sometimes it thinks the key is left in the ignition, it only seems to like me turning the key to off, opening the door so it can tell me the key is in and then i remove it, if i follow this I haven't had the christmas tree effect so far (have GP placement in the morning, bet the battery is flat), is the car just wanting to tell me it can be helpful or is there an underlying issues
3. Interior lights, one or two bulbs gone, cannot turn on drivers side rear or main centre one, would this be causing the lights not to come on when opening the doors? have given the locks a good wd spray for now as know that can be a cause but should it fix itself once the bulbs are changed?
4. becm - any recommendations of how to clean connections to delay a certain self destruction
thank you for any help, I will endeavour to pay back any help with anything i can offer, had a G-Wagen before an still part of that forum so I am not a one post wonder (unless a bmw hits this one, in which case i may just be found outside bavarian motor works with a box of matches!!!)
Kins Regards
