Suspension & alarm problem

[Alan Ross]

Hi, I have a 2004 RR Vogue Diesel and when starting up getting a ‘rubbing sound’ from passenger rear when 1st start that seems to go away after a few minutes. Also just went for short journey this morning & when got home alarm keeps going off. Could this be a drained battery & can I charge it?
Not sure if this will help but we were away camping recently & had a fridge plugged into socket in rear when driving & also charged phones.

Low battery can cause many problems, not sure about rubbing your passengers rear though.
When connecting a batter charger, always connect to the battery before plugging the charger into the mains.

When connected charger reading was c. 3amps, max on my charger is 5amps. Do I leave it charging till it hits 5amps? Sorry for silly question but I know nothing about cars.

Be careful there could be a whole crowd of folks wanting to rub your passenger's rear

Leave it charging, the current will gradually drop as the battery reaches full charge.

Could be the EAS Compressor as that is in the rear - but central under the spare wheel.
