also i have jumped it off another car took it out for a good drive, left it running for over an hour and battery was still flat, now im thinking alternator but how wiould this relate to the car wash, also whilst driving through the car wash i noticed the battery light flash a few times :/

Could just be a bad connection, so before you lash your cash on a new alternator check the connections on the back of the alternator are clean and tight.

You must not get thease 4x4 off road vehicles wet, they dont like it, why do we Range Rover owners put up with it, the Top Gear gang left a Toyota in the sea for the night and it started in the morning, get in a Range Rover with wet shoes and the becam plays up.

Sorry for the rant and invading the thread but it so annoys me when someone has a proplem with a Rangie when it got wet

Aah it's cos they are designed as American cruisers, not serious off road vehicles. The off road bit is just an image thing:doh:

Thanks for the input guys but it was my alternator that had gone :/ my mechanic swapped it did his tests, we just cant understand what the car wash had to do with it, ohh well all is well now.... whats next !
