Hi all,
I'm a newbie here, I just picked up my first Range Rover at weekend. A 2002 vogue TDV6. I've been doing a lot of searching on the forum and reading up, some really great info on here for a newbie
I noticed that after a 2 days I got a couple of flashes from the red battery light on the dash so I decided to hook it up to a slow charger as I know the previous owner had stopped using the car so the battery was likely to be weak anyway.
I charged it using a CTEK charger in 'Recondition' mode and it gave it a decent charge and showed it as full on the charger. All seems fine with it since then... but it has only been 2 days!
I've been doing a lot of searching on here and was reading about HVAC resistor issues that are common, so I decided to do a test with a piece of tissue paper on the vents in the heater panel as suggested by some members of the forum. After locking and leaving the car for 30 mins the tissue paper is still being sucked in by the fan, so I'm assuming this definitely means I need to replace the HVAC resistor is that correct? Any other ways of checking? I saw references to a red light but not sure if I misunderstood.
I believe the part number is JG0000021, is this a dealer only part?
In terms of fitting it sound like its awkward to get to, are there any guides? Is it just a couple of panels in the drivers footwell that need to be removed and get your hand up the back near the pedals? or more to it than that?
Thanks in advance for any responses
Adam
