The joy of having a Land Rover is presently being marred in my case by the electrical crisis my P38 4.0 is having today.
The car will run, all is well, except that all ( and I mean all!) of the dashboard lights are on all the time - and none of the instruments work. The indicators, external lights air suspension are all fine, the V8 is purring away, but all the lights remain on the dashboard, even when the ignition key is off and removed from the vehicle. That drains the battery, naturally, and caused a bit of a crisis yesterday, but that is another story. I am having to disconnect the battery every time I park it to ensure that there is any juice there next time I come to start it up.
There is no sign of life from any of the instruments or the written display ( but it beeps a fair bit). Two RAC men have scratched their heads, one suggested that a relay was stuck on.
Any suggestions about what it could be, a simple cure would be great; driving it over a cliff is not an option today.
