:eek:

Let's hope it doesn't go bang then :eek:

Thanks for the info. As long as the worst thing that can happen is it’ll lose charge again that’s fine, don’t want it to cause any serious issue.

Is this something I need to be concerned about? The garage I went to checked everything over with their computer but said there was no need to reset anything. Is there anyway I can check myself that the system has registered a new battery?

Thanks, not sure what the CCF setting is so will look into that. I don't think they reset anything, but they plugged the computer in and checked pages and pages of info and said everything was showing as working as normal.

It’s not pretty. I hate that they have one control dial and you have to assign it each time to what function you want such as temperature, fan level etc.

What's the consensus on the Velar then? I wondered that too, but if that's just required for the stop/start we'll leave it ;) Firstly we had no idea this was the case until now, secondly we've had it done by an Indy and all seems fine (barring the stop/start)

Ahh I get you, the trouble is it was running alongside the Freelander for a while so maybe they should have called it the disco sport and kept the Freelander name what is now the disco sport?

Well the new battery is fitted, warning has gone but auto stop/start isn't working. Now that's a good thing in my book but my wife's on the way back to the garage as they want to check everything over.

As predicted the battery's dead, getting a new one fitted for £135 + VAT. For the sake of £160 we'd rather do that than mess about going to the dealership which is some distance away. Thanks to everyone for their help and input :)

@gstuart thanks very much for all the info, it's very much appreciated. FYI it's a 2019 Si4 Auto with stop start. We are actually off to an Indy this morning so hopefully will know more shortly.

Ahh right lol. I guess it's an instant forum ban to say that I like it then :D

Nope no idea what you’re on about. Wife’s got an Evoque, I’ve got an X5 :)

I’m lost :confused:

Not sure what’s wrong with it being my wife’s car? o_O

Thanks for the info, I’d imagine a Land Rover Indy could do this then?

Just had a look at prices and when I looked at the RAC site (first one google brought up) it says this :rolleyes:

Cool thanks, I thought it sounded a bit odd. Yes it tells you about jump starting, and about connecting the black clip to the earth point for which the diagram is typically clear as mud (although I'm sure will be obvious when I open the bonnet ;)) I do think the battery is shot though the fact...

With regards to charging the battery why does the manual say you need to disconnect it before charging?

Thanks for all of the replies, much appreciated. I'll definitely get it checked by an Indy, but I will also get a multimeter and charger I think. As for journey's, sometimes it can be 1-2 miles, sometimes it's 6-8 miles.
