Yes that is at 2k rpm, I tried it this morning and it lasted about 2 minutes, I switched off and left it for 10 minutes, switched back on and it turned off after about 10-15 seconds.

I have just tried it with a "real" voltmeter and it's running at 14.2v is that acceptable or still in the danger zone, there are no warnings or other weird things happening.

Ok thanks for that, I will check it with a proper volt meter as that reading was from one of these plug in type gadgets and are probably not very accurate.

The battery I was told is 7 months old and its charging at 13.8v, i also put it on a trickle charge every week. After more investigations it turns out it's nothing to do with the engine running it justs goes off after about a 2 minutes it was by chance it cut out when i started the engine. I...

Thanks for your reply saint, the plot thickens I have just been out to have a look with the ignition switched on the radio worked fine for several minutes as soon as I turned on the engine it fizzled out again. If you switch off and on again straight away it does not work.

Thanks Saint, is it behind the left hand boot panel beside the sat nav, there are two larger units there and one slimmer one underneath the sat nav unit. Is it the one nearest the rear of the car with fins on it, I have shoe a torch in and its bone dry no sign of dampness at all but I suppose...

My 2004 l322 radio has been playing up, when I bought it every time I turned the ignition off when I turned it back on I had to turn the volume up as it had turned its self off, today it didn't come on no matter what i did the tape also had no sound, then it just came on with no prompt from me...

It gets even better, I have just ordered one online as we do not have a store here. Thanks again.

Great tip backinblack, I was wanting to do the same so thank you for making it easy.

Thanks Datatek I did have a look but there was no mention of it and I tried everything but it still defaulted back to the radio setting. Thanks Saint it looks like you have answered the question I just need to push buttons.

I found an updated disc online for my 2004 vogue sat nav which works great but can you have the sat nav set to come on when you swich on the ignition as mine defaults back to the onboard computer every time I switch off and then have to start pushing buttons to bring it back on it's not the end...

My l322 does exactly the same when you first lock it but it goes off within five minutes when it goes to sleep mode.

That's what I was hoping to hear, many thanks for your help.

I would say I have an earlier head unit than yours would I be correct in thinking that should not matter or am I totally wrong.

Brilliant I will get one ordered. Thanks very much.

Excuse my ignorance but does the DAB+ just plug in to the accessory socket and then you can get your phone to play music through it,

My 2004 V8 l322 came with the CD player missing so I am looking to just use my phone for music, I had heard you need a Bovee to make it work, I have looked at them and they appear to have either a Jack plug or USB fitting but my vehicle does not have any ports in it. Is there a simple way to...

That's a great help saint, thanks very much for that info.

Thanks for that I will check it out, i am pretty sure it is the switch.

I thought I had sorted my issues after a seized brake caliper then coolant loss was traced to a leaking radiator. My new problem is the ignition switch on the centre console works fine in all positions apart from the start position where nothing happens usually only the first start of the day...
