Is it not still in warranty?

I suppose if its not, then a Land Rover dealer will supply a new one, probably at vast cost

I'm not sure of an alternative.

Hi Gareth

It is under warranty until August. Thing is I have had some suspicious happenings none which appear to be prominent thankfully.

Chris Tyler noted my battery was showing low voltage when he was remapping car. I advised dealer car would not start and had to call AA hoping they would replace battery they checked it and said it was fine.

Car then took about 12 attempts to start one morning recently during the cold weather.

More recently I started car and the airbag light stayed on / I switched off car and it extinguished.

I just have a feeling all of the above relate to battery and would obviously need to somehow prove to dealer it needed replacing. Googsy

Hi
Battery voltage 12.5 volts battery needs charging.
Battery voltage under 12.5 battery u/s.
Battery needs charging on lead calcium intelligent charger, Dealer can test battery with a midtronic tester and retreve fault code to submit to factory for warranty.
Hope this helps

Bit expensive but what about an Optimate? Ben

Assume you mean an Optima?

Rather than randomly posting a 'helpful' reply, why don't you look at the subject matter first and either 'do one' or research it before diving in?

I know you've got newly found testosterone coursing through every part of your body, but FFS (iaia) do you really have to do the internet equivalent of jumping up in class with you hand in the air shouting 'I know! I know!' whilst simultaneously pis sing your pants in anticipation of a 'well done that boy' - cos it ain't going to happen for a while...

No! Thats not like me at all! Optima is what I meant.

Optimate is the charger my dad uses to charge his Optima! Easy mistake!

In that case, I shall start a petition to change your username (again

) to 'Thrush'

as in 'irritating little cnut!'
