OK, 2 days in; I've a duff MFU but that's OK, lots of advice here and I feel I'll be able to sort it; I've managed to shift from H to L and the darned thing worked, and worked well; I've mastered the dodgy bonnet catch and retrieved the radio code only to find I've a multi CD under my seat! but after a trip to the supermarket laden with some serious libation for the weekend, the blooming battery light decided to stay on?!
I pulled in to a garage, popped the idiosyncratic hood, scoured the alt but all looked OK (my tacho wasn't working and yesterday the LR dealer attached a stray wire and the tach worked after a fashion but only for 10 minutes).
I decided the new battery - wrong battery I'm sure as the poles seem to be in the wrong place for the leads - would get me home and thus I sallied forth hoping to get to the gaff, and a bloody large white wine. As fortune would have it, the darned thing extinguished and all is well BUT, what the heck?
Is this a 'disco gremlin'?
I'm thinking I'll need to get the right battery - the negative is straddling over the top the battery and can't be a 'sound' connection - but any advice/observations welcomed.
