    Discovery 3 battery light

    Hi all - purchased (my first LR - Disco 3) last night. 100k, 2007, HSE, Auto. Noticed red battery light on the dash on the way home. Did lots of checks beforehand with a mate who knows more about these things than I and all seemed well but between us we must have not noticed the battery light...

    How smart (or dumb) is the standard battery charging regime in a Land Rover?

    I am going to add an auxilliary battery to my Defender and so first of all I want to get a detailed understanding of the way the standard setup works. My Defender is a 2009 Puma but I imagine that the situation is the same for practically all Defenders, although I'll be interested in the detail...

    How to hibernate a L322

    Hello. My 2003 RHD RR Vogue is going to be off the road for nearly six months when I return to the UK later this year for a break. What should I do to 'hibernate' the RR? Presumably I should follow the complicated procedure of disconnecting the battery, but will that then cause issues with...

    Any battery experts who could advise? Is my battery toast?

    Hi folks, I'm thinking I might just have made a costly mistake. I replaced the battery in my TD5 110 in early to mid Nov there as the old one was not holding its charge for long and was struggling to turn the Landy over in the cold. I think it was the original one I removed (Had the Land...

    Wouldn't it be nice.

    Wouldn't it be nice if I could get through just one week without something falling off or breaking. Drove up to my archery club today and as I was the only one there I hopped out to close the gates behind me. Turned the engine off. Hopped back in again, turned the key, click... silence. I was...

    Cold weather = flat battery!

    Hi all, When the weather drops to less than 3 or 4ºC my battery is flat in the morning! :( I hook up to the L200 for about 5 mins and she starts. Do I just need to buy a new battery? I've read plenty of posts on batteries draining but I don't believe that's happening. I live in the middle of...
