hi pepole im new to the site and its my first range rover with problems its a 1997 4.6 hse auto petrol the two problems i have is when i go to put her in gear nothing happens i have to select another gear then put it into the gear i want then its fine the other problem is the battery light came on and the car stopped so had to get a friend to jump start me now the battery is charged i started the car and now the revs go high on tickover could a faulty alternator cause this.

If you have to put it into first to pull away, then it's the sprag clutch gone.
If the battery light came on while it was running, either the alternator has failed or there is a bad connection.
