Same here at the garage 👍 Everyone forgets the date they were fitted🤷🤣

On some there is a date code but not all. However, the date is not that important. Lead Calcium batteries used in cars can last a very long time if kept fully charged and fail remarkably quickly if kept in a low state of charge. I always write...

Just a joke and I didn't want to take the importance from your thread kiddo😎👍 Mind you, it could have gone wrong, horribly wrong🫣😝

Do as you must 🥲

I'm pleased you've edited that!

Still worth checking the battery CCA/EN capacity even if it's "only 18 months old" . . .

Thank you lovely😘

That was quick work. Hope it goes with less bother than, but as much joy as, Range Rover ownership 🤣💖

Oh. My. God! That wasn't a dare! Get ready. @LR-hobbs I'm so sorry we're hijacking this thread and derailing it! Mark and I will now have to personally find the answers to your questions to try and get this back on track.

It bloody is lad😜

All part of the fun of Range Rover ownership. 😂

Can't believe you didn't just tag him! We need another 60 pages of "Gotcha questions" whatever they are. :)

I'm ignoring him unfortunately, full stop.... 🫣

It's having a joke with you my mate😱🫣

You could try plugging one of those voltage displays in the accessory socket.

Maybe the guy with the enormous mechanical knowledge 🤔😝

No idea why that link won't link. Here's the long version...

That's very kind of you both to say so🥲

You deserve my friend :)👍

I have a feeling that might not be an option, Germany has some funny rules about towing and the TUV might insist on it being 13 pin native especially if they need reverse lights on the socket. No idea whether TUV would test the live outputs or...

No it's definitely not that.. plus had them off recently.. good call though

Whilst I'm very pleased for you, this level of bragging has brought up some feelings of jealousy. Nah, I'm over it. Good for you my friend. Good for you!

Not counting my chickens sonny boy😝

So, if I want to do it right, and that's what I am doing at the moment, I use the proper bullet type connectors. Autospark had those in stock, hence I ordered a ton. Turns out I need a proper crimping tool, well, the rev meter will have to wait...

I just found out what one of the wires on the coil is / was for: that's where the added rev counter took his input from. Good news, as it is an electronic one already calibrated for 8 cylinders, all I have to do is to connect it to the coil and...

Sooo, I skipped training today and attacked those harnesses! Good new first: all colors on the Autospark one, so far, are the same as those in the repair manual (only exception in one in the engine bay). That is quite good! The rear loom is...

There are loads of examples on Google. 13 pin sockets weren't around before 2008 ...

So, with the old harnesses as good as gone all the previously installed wiring went out as well. That includes the 13 pin trailer socket. The car has what looks like a genuine indicator relay to be used for towing and the rear harness has a...

Do you need a 13 pin or can you use a 7pin socket? Also where abouts in the world are you? 👍
