Forgot to ask, does anyone know what voltage a good battery should read connected up to the car? this one showed 11.97v this morning and will check what the charging voltage is when I run the car at idle later today

Thanks Tricky, appears to be well looked after and drives lovely. You could be right about the electrical issues may let it settle in as you say and if it starts to bug me will look more into it. regards mark

My range

Hi All, Just bought myself a 2010 Autobiography L322 and thought I would create a post just to say how great they are. Mine is a 3.6 TDV8 with 140,000 and thenewer TFT screen. As with all the cars I buy especially RangeRovers the battery died within a couple of days, to be fair the previous...

Hi Everyone.. Just a quick update on my RRS front underneath groaning. Local garage confirmed my suspension that it was the front diff. Managed to source a second one off a 2008 for £65 and my garage fitted it last week. So the car is now groan free and touch wood fault free

Morning All... owning a Range Rover is like doing a college course. I believe now the issue is not with the gearbox or torque converter and is with either the prop shaft centre bearing or my front diff which had a blocked breather causing a weep of fluid fluid from the pinion seal where it links...

Hi All.. I plan to take the Range into my local garage to diagnose the problem. Doing a bit of research and referencing the groaning noise when under load which is more pronounced at low speed I am guessing towards front diff or prop shaft centre bearing. The rubber mounting at the centre...

No...no ghost locking. Just wont lock with remote or internal central lock button on dash other than drivers door. Seemed strange that all unlock ok but it is a Land Rover after all. so could be 3 failed actuators over a period of time as I don’t know the history of the car. Not a priority at...

Will give a week to see if it worsens and then take it to the gearbox specialists to give it a proper diagnostic. Next on the list is the door actuators. Only drivers door and tailgate locks with central locking key or button inside. Funny thing is the unlock will open all doors even after I...

Just cracked off the filler plug when temperature got up to 30 degrees but I did not have any trickle of fluid coming out. Stuck it a piece of paper and fluid is still reddish. Pumped in a litre of ATF M1375.4 before it started to trickle so filler plug back in and took it for a test drive.. It...

Thanks for the pointers guys

Was talking to a local gearbox shop who have a good reputation and he was saying possible torque converter and the pre 2007 and not repairable and as you mentioned Alan it probably has affected the gearbox. Would still like to check the fluid level for my own piece of mind. Just was not sure if...

Hi All.. I am going to crack off the transmission filler plug tomorrow with car running and transmission temperature at 30 degrees centigrade and check the fluid level. If the fluid is low ie not trickling out can I top it up with the engine running? Mark

Thanks guys... No more faults on the dashboard. Always enjoy working on a Rangie even when they frustrate you.

Purchased a icarsoft lr2 diagnostic kit and it came up with code U2002 which is communication problem between EPB switch and EPB module..already swapped out switch..so proceeded to trace and check the wiring from the module plug. FIXED.. The fault was a broken wire about 6 inches from the plug...

Hi All.. Now have an update on my broken epb. I replaced the rear discs and pads and checked out the rear shoes which still had a lot of life in them so cleaned them up and adjusted them with the discs back on. Next I went about getting to the EPB module which is accessed by first removing the...

I took it out tonight to test with sport mode engage and manual gear selection. The noise is like a vibration/whine noise at low speed when I touch the accelerator and present when in manual gears and when flipped over to drive. Driving at 15mph touching the gas i hear it and flip to neutral it...

Thanks All for replies. Will get it jacked up again. Do i check the propshaft Universal Joints for play?. And check it in manual gears to see if that affects the vibration. With regards the box and converter was looking into getting it power flushed. Can anyone recommend this at all?. Saw a...

No vibration through the steering wheel but the misfire has got me thinking. Then again I put in neutral at low speed and the vibration seems to go. So I guess I am proving it towards the box or torque converter? And it revs ok at idle and no errors are coming up on the dashboard. Was you...

Hi All.. Working my way through the faults on my RRS 2005 2.7TDV6. Owned the car for nearly a month and I changed the oil and filters then replaced the discs and pads all round plus adjusted the rear shoes..still have the faulty EPB to fix when I have a few days spare. Also replaced the fluid in...
