Hi all,

It's happend, I have not done 100 miles in my nice new
2004 Range Rover Vogue & things have started to go wrong!!!

Can anyone please help with this....

While driving my satnav screen went blank / radio went off & my indicators no longer make a sound when on (the indicators still flash)

Thank You

Joe
 
it's reverting to being a proper landrover then....

instedio, listen to the amazing sound of a V8

who needs satnav when you can drive anywhere

indicators not making a sound when you use them.. that's sos you don't disturb the wildlife (that hasn't been scared away by the V8)

I'm sure someone will be along in a bit with a more sensible answer...
 
Hi Ian,

Sorry I should of started by telling you what I know about cars / bikes & Range Rovers.....


OK now thats out of the way how would I start to know if it the fuses?
& where do they live?

Thanks
Joe

I am not sure, just tryig to think logicly ;)

have you and owners manual?
 
I have a discovery rather than a range so not sure exactly but there are usually two fuse boxes on cars, one under the bonnet marked fuses and one in the cabin somewhere, often behind a panel under the steering wheel... in my discovery the fuses are pretty well labelled so you shoudl be able to identify which one is for the satnav/stereo from the labels assuming the range is the same.. there may well be two, one in each fuse box as in a lot of cars the permanent live is fused under the bonnet and the ignition switched supply is fused in the cabin.. not looked at mine to see if landrover do that..

when you find the fuse there will be a fuse removal tool nearby,

like this: Land Rover Brand New Fuse Removal Tool on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 20-Oct-08 22:55:06 BST)

but for heavens sake don't go buying one if you can't find it, the fuses can usually be pulled out by hand although they can be fiddly..

pull out the fuse you want to check (ignition off) and look at it..

blown ones look like this:

not blown ones haven't got the gap in the metal bit in the middle..

if it's blown replace it with a new one of the same rating (same colour = same rating) they are pennies to buy in any motor factors and your local petrol station will probably have some as well..

could have saved myself all this typing - watch this...

one more thing, fuses don't blow for no reason so once you have changed the fuse keep an eye on it, the chances are it will blow again and you will need to establish why... generally my rule is first one's a fluke, if it goes a second time then investigate...

I don't know what to say!

You have taken all that time to sit & email me this, your a very good man :eek:)

I'm going to look tonight when I get home, Im sure I have seen a fuse box in the boot next to the satnav box, i'll look there too.

Thanks AGAIN

Do Range Rovers blow fuses often?
I have had loads of cars in my time, I have 4 now...
2 Audi A6
1 Porsche Boxter S
And this Range Rover, I cant remember ever having to have to change a fuse before in any of them!

Is this a Range Rover thing or have I just been luck with the others?
 
possibly. On my way ;)

tell yu wot - as yu got 2 A6's - if they have the G50 gearbox fitted , i will have one of them instead, just to show wot a kind considerate peep i am :D.

alot of the time the stereo is on the same fuse as the interior light, i don't know if this is true of range rovers(i havn't checked mine yet) or 2004 models in particular, a fuse would not explain the indicator bieng silent tho would it?
