Hello everyone, I'm new here, and new to Range Rovers as well. I've had mine for a couple of weeks and I'm becoming quite attached to the old girl. As I was coming home last night the rev counter stopped working. It was fine one minute and dead the next. My questions are: is this a common fault, what causes it, and how do I go about fixing it? I've looked in the Haynes manual (stop laughing!) and that was useless...

Cheers,
JR.

Do you know what I can do to sort it? I have heard that the alternator module can die...

Bet me last can of Guinness it's the alternator. Just check the leads first to be sure. New one costs around £110-120

Had a look this morning - it was the white lead that comes from the module at the rear of the alternator. It had pulled off at the connector! Thanks again, guys.
