Hello to you all.
Been dipping my toe in the forum for a while and bought my first Disco, a '97 300TDi manual which I think is fantastic! Today though she let me know she wasn't too chuffed with the constant trips from Gloucestershire to Portsmouth, and put on her battery light while I was a couple of hours from home. The rev counter and the rear wiper stopped working at the same time, but the rear wash still works. I can't find anything else that doesn't work, but now she has stopped, the battery doesn't have the oomph to start her. She tries to turn over, but just "chatters" for a few seconds before sounding the alarm until I switch her off. Could anyone please point me in the right direction 'cos we have to go back to Portsmouth on Tuesday and I am b******d if I can work out whats wrong. I have checked some fuses, but can't find one that covers whats wrong. I am by no means a mechanic or auto electrician, but I can probably get hold of the right end of a screwdriver or spanner if the missus shouts loudly enough. Needless to say she is gloating, she wanted to buy a jellymould but gave in after the floods round here looked like they might return. Any advice on what may be wrong and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
If there have been freds on this before I cant find them, (I've got a mac and it doesn't seem to allow me to use the search function).
Thank you for your help.
