| New TSB download for MY14 charging fault. |
|
Following on from the other thread on this topic, I thought it a good idea to put up a new post so others might notice it.
If you have a MY14 D4, you should ask your dealer to download the latest TSB, as if you haven't already had a warning you might in the future.
I had a charging fault warning in October when driving to Bristol airport to catch a flight. Just what I needed! All was well though and it started straight away on my return 4 days later. Then after a week or so I noticed that the Eco Stop/Start wasn't working as normal. So I called LRA, who sent a very knowledgeable and friend LR Technician out to me. He seemed to be a genuine Discovery enthusiast.
After testing the battery and hooking up his laptop thingy, it said it needed a new software download.
The problem is that the smart charging system calls for power to charge the battery when it's required. The parameters on the module weren't configured properly. So there have now been a couple of TSB's to rectify this. I had the second version downloaded and it's been fine ever since.
The TSB is LTB00667 v2.

Thank you for this info - I had the 'Charging System Fault' message a while ago but it cleared almost straight away and I had put it down as 'one of those things'!
On a similar note, there is also a recall of certain vehicles for issues with the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System - I haven't bothered too much about this (think my Commercial falls into the affected vehicles) as my tyres still appear to be round each morning... I remember the old days when tyre checks were the driver's responsibility!

All on the list for the next time I am in the dealers... D4 Commercial - 65 Plate, 2016MY
D5 Commercial - Handed back when I left that job…
D4 Commercial (2014MY) - gone
D4 Commercial SDV6 - Baltic Blue (also gone)
D1 300TDi... 2" lift, HD bumpers (both), detachable tow hitch, 9,500lb winch, 235/85/16 muds and plenty of other toys (gone to make way for the next toy...)
Smiles per Mile - Tornado Motorsports caged Evo 3... 100" Defender look-alike, with Range Rover running gear - all fully IVA'd and registered!
