Yes the battery is correct and I had it tested after I charged it and it was good
Then it's time for

Checked the boot already and there's no water in there, and the headlight wipers are still sat in the same position since I brought it. I've started the fuse pulling already. Thank you
Just saw this. Did I not mention in your intro post that your headlamp wiper doesn't look right? Is that an 'upgraded' grille? Have you had diagnostics on it,to make sure theyre going to sleep?
 
Addit to my last. When you say the wipers are set that way due to the 'upgraded' grille. Do you mean they have been set by diagnostics to be recognised in that position? Or just , the previous owner adjusted the physical setting to sit that way?
 
The headlight wipers can be moved round for the dodgy aftermarket grilles to try and make it look like an 06 but they can still fail internally and also fail to park. The drain test will highlight if they are the problem
 
Jésus Christ,
Why the hell do headlight wipers need a bloody computer to monitor them!!
(Sorry drunk and fed up moment).
I love these landrover motors but some of the crap they knock out takes the pizz....
Carry on guys'n'gals:confused:

It's cos they are naughty and if they are not monitored they will cause havoc ;) The 'upgraded' grille can be complicit in the naughtiness.

Problem is the very fact there are wipers tells everyone it's not a 2006 :D
 
I am fairly liberal when it comes to what you can and can’t do to (in) a Range Rover, I have LED halos and blacked out head light internals and grille so I have no room to shout but the grille conversion with the angled headlights wipers is my pet hate. If you are going to accessorise then the rules are simple , heals, hand bag, lipstick , ear rings- no gold scrunchy !

Wtf?? Pmsl...:p:D
What's wrong with gold scrunchies....
 
I quoted you in another thread.. something about battery drain.. damn your popular;):D
Nope. Clicked on the alert and it took me to the gold scrunchies comment. Which is really weird as I don't wear scrunchies....................

The wipers on the headlights have been parked there since I brought the range as I've made no changes myself and upto the first flat battery I've never had any issues. The way it was it killed a fully charged battery overnight so it must be something that's just accured, well that's my guess. Slowly trying different fuses to try and narrow down the source but working long hours so don't get much spare time. Will keep updated.

I started writing something but have decided not to bother. Good luck and happy hunting.
 
The wipers move when you wash your screen with your headlights on every 4th or 5th wash and they can fail to park fully which is what drains the battery. They also fail internally as they are full of electronics. I’m not sure they have a separate fuse as mine were unplugged when I bought mine. Have you connected up an ammeter in series (earth strap removed) and identified a drain with the car locked and asleep? As already mentioned the FSR hedgehog is another culprit and there are several HEVAC fuses
