Ah yes - if the feed runs through a relay then of course welded contacts of this relays would indeed facilitate this condition...... Hmmm - you've given me some thought to work on. I don't have a manual for this so would you happen to know which relay or where it is that controls this? Thanx

Hi chaps - as the tiltle suggests me mate's p38 battery dies after a cuppla days non use because his suspension pump runs even though the ignition is switched off? Is this normal that the motor should run in this way? :confused:

Yes 13.3 is unacceptable. Glad its sorted anyhow.

ps. surely we must NOT be neighbours then........ :confused:

I agree Ian - my training in engineering stems from 1975 and 13.5 volts (given an acceptable tolerance in multimeters) to me would figure as acceptable. Ok my analogy used 12v instead of 13.2 as redrange quite rightly stated but the principle still remains - 13.5 volt will top up a 13.2 volt...

Ah, thanx for that rover. So there are core plugs on the aft face of the engine then? What a ridiculous place to locate them? Wouldn't you have thought the sides of the engine where their condition could be monitored might be a useful place to be?

Bump! Somebody must have some ideas on this one????? Please?

13.5 is fine in my opinion. Without wishing to patronise you if you consider your battery to be a reservoir of water, the height of which is 12 inches and have another reservoir which is connected via pipe with a level of 13.5 inches then the original reservoir will be topped up without any...

Hi guys and a very big welcome to you all to MY world........ (ok a slightly different slant I know :) ). I'm semi - supporting a couple of mates with their Rangey problems and as such have lurked for a wee while and been very lucky in successfuly searching these forums and receiving answers...
