hi i have a 2003 4.4 petrol which i have had about a year now, i dont use it as much as i did when i got the car as i now have a works van so it sits about all week and when i go to start it at the weeked it has a flat battery.
when i got the car it had an upgraded to a 2010 front and rear end with later lights the car is at landrover at the moment and thay called me today and told me that its because of the headlights my battery is going flat. has anyone else come across this and how do i sort it as they say only way to sort it is replace headlights with standard ones which also means bumpers as well

thanks
 
no everything works fine was told that the headlight ecu isnt going to sleep and draining .60 amps or somthing like that i dont see how its doing it either
but electrics and ecu anything posssible
 
Asian cheap copycat lights, maybe.
Somehow reminds me of the ancient tome on Chinese agriculture by 'Hu Flung Dung'.

Bit like flight failure.....lands with a splat.

Doing me toggles on ma duffle..may have splinter:(

one solution could be to power the head light ecu with a relay triggered from an ignition live.
question is, does it need to be on and monitoring all the time?
 
we need a tech head on the L322 scene to tell you where the head light ecu is! You've used relays before?
 
then if it's possible cut into the live feed and fit the relay powered from an ignition live..
