Help needed! Range Rover vogue 2006 3.0D

Hi mr gold I have found the correct battery for it so will keep you posted. Cheers.

I've found a Lucas 020 110ah 920cca is that the correct battery? Cheers.

Any particular reason?

For assuming you was a mr!

I meant any particular reason for putting the 'male' icon after it?

Friggin hell what is this place? I don't know what these symbols mean. Shoot me now and get it over with. I put an emoji of a woman off my phone keypad and they never appeared.

No worries,it just gets wearing sometimes when the default setting seems to be 'it's a car forum must be all guys'. Thank you for your apology and good luck with sorting your issues. They are tempermental beasts but well worth the effort.

P.s I have always tried to keep shooting people to an 'absolute must' basis. It is not something I would dole out for such a minor infraction.

Hey no worries, thanks for the advice with my RR it means a lot when I know nothing about them I bought it on a whim and been fault and trouble free for the last 12 months just the 2 issues with the battery so I'm going to take your advice and buy a battery and go from there cheers.

Ps don't suppose your anywhere near Blackburn by any chance.

I'm not far from Blackburn but I don't have nanocom license for yours. I know nanocom won't work on vehicles up to, I think, 2005 but might work on yours as it's a later one. Without the license, I've no idea what it will read (for example, on a p38, I can read all but engine ecu on models I don't have license for)
I'm working in Italy this week but I'd be happy to plug it in when I get back and see if it will work or not.

Just fitting a battery will not magically cure the SRS fault.....BUT, it will help in preventing further issues.

The Range Rover is a very power hungry beast, and they consume huge amounts of power just to keep the dozens of ECUs fed and operating correctly.

84% is not a healthy battery to an L322, it may be for 'lesser' vehicles but as the L322 is so massively dependant on electrical devices, ECUs and the various databuses shuttling information backwards and forwards anything less than perfection can cause hiccups.

Just to shuttle the huge amounts of data around the the car for the various systems it uses 5 databuses - the I bus, K bus, M bus, P bus and the CANbus. then you have the ISO bus for the engine and gearbox dedicated diagnositcs.....

A good, strong and perfect battery is a must, but the low voltage and the couple of jumps you have had to have recently has already caused the SRS fault, a new battery won't miraculously clear the fault...you need to find out why the low voltage cause the ECU to fault in the first place....diagnostics will help you with this....you say you had it done, got it reset and the light then came back on again...had the fault read and it said something about low voltage but the technician didn't know why or what that meant - then you need to take it to someone who can diagnose and understand what the fault is telling them. Everything else is just chasing a tail.

Landyzone is a unique forum with a lot of micky taking and friendly banter, but the help and response times are second to none...so yes we may make a jibe and take the pi$$ but that is par for the course here, but you will also encounter some of the most knowledgeable and helpful people on here too.

Owning a Range Rover is the most rewarding and equally most frustrating endeavour - they will empty a healthy bank balance rapidly when they go into a fault, but when they are working they are the best thing to own and drive.....

Imagine that, a P bus.
I'm imagining the wafting scent and sloshing now.

Worst thing would be discovering you'd got on a B bus without protection.
