    And again!!

    It does seem like it must be something along those lines but I thought 14.5 was ok? I based this on another post by yourself quote "Sorry Wammers, the output voltage of an alternator is fixed by the regulator at around 14.2 to 14.8 volts" Like I say Im rigging up a voltmeter so I can see whats...

    And again!!

    The battery reads 11v when the car conks out and engine is stopped, Alternator is putting out 14.5V so not likely to cook the battery but Im wondering if it suddenly starts to overcharge while running.. Im going to rig up a digital voltmeter so I can keep an eye on it while driving. Been...

    Yeah ....that stupid idea I got from somebody who said it would resynch the ecu and BeCM !! Now I dont know the rights and wrongs if this bit I DO know the car started afterwards so maybe not such a stupid idea:cool:

    And again!!

    Hi Mozz. It was all fine before I set off and ran fine with the new battery for a couple of days. 1997 4.6Hse. Nothing seems to be wrong...nothing on diagnostics...runs fine then suddenly kills the battery. Got it recovered from the motorway but ,of course ,they wouldnt accept my breakdown...

    And again!!

    It seems that way but everything checks out.....showing 14.5+ but when the car dies the battery reads just over 11. When started and running with the neg lead off its runs fine but when its put back on it seems to put a massive demand on the alternator. Of course, its trying to charge the...

New battery fitted and all seemed well until last night on a Spanish motorway when it died again. towed to Land Rover (well there was a sticker on the wall saying that) Battery again.!! No choice but to buy another new one at 130E plus 50E to...

    heater fans not working

    Im in Spain....The blowers dont work on any setting and I have tried everything suggested....nothing. The ONLY time they ran was when I connected the battery with the key in pos 2. They ran on max and responded to the speed control but when switched off they woldnt restart.

    heater fans not working

    Yes, I realise its not easy to diagnose remotely.....Im going to have to do my trip without heat or AC although some heat comes through when the car is moving. Im going to buy a Nanocom when /if I get to my destination Cheers

    heater fans not working

    The motors are not duff...changed them as complete units from a working vehicle....the hevac works..all motors and flaps move and the temp rises as the buttons are pushed to increase temp.. I say again..The motors DO NOT run at any speed- I have checked EVERY lead suggested and found no fault...

    heater fans not working

    Yes I have had ideas and implemented them......none of them worked. Diagnostics said motors..it isnt the motors (unless I bought 2 duff ones) so maybe you can understand why Im still asking?? I have checked and/or changed everything suggested on various sites.. Seems odd that they start when I...
