Hi all.
Long time without posting.
My 2003 car now is my second car and sits around for a while in between when I need it for either towing or helping out with search and rescue or 4x4Response stuff, and I’m guessing the damp has gotten to it. The dashboard lights were at one point flickering before deciding to stay on. However they have now decided not to even give me any signs of life. No matter how warm and dry I get the vehicle. I’ve had a look through some threads but haven’t found anything yet that I understand how to do myself. So could someone explain in “girl” terms for me.
Also the middle nob to turn the blowers off won’t go completely off or respond when I press it, so I either get full blowers or half.
The reason it’s now my second car is because I’m struggling financially (haha second car and broke right) so I have a cheap runaround and I am able to afford both because I’m not putting fuel in the Rangerover. So I need to be able to either fix it myself or get everything ready for my tame mechanic who is a couple of hours away.
(I miss my P38 with it’s M57 engine conversion)
Thank you in advance. x

I suppose the first question has to be, are you sure the battery is up to it? Do the inside lights come on? What about headlights?

Yes, battery was replaced in the summer. The interior light comes on when I open the door and press the button. The headlights and indicators all work as normal (although it no longer “bongs” at me if I leave the lights on and open the door so I always end up going back to it and having to turn them off…

None of that means the battery is in a good state of charge.
