hi there
My normally well
Mannered range lost all power the other day
Started with a couple of lights on dash then about 7 came on lights shut off intermittently and I drove for a further half hour then it just dies on the hard shoulder m11.
It’s been compounded near stanstead
As I had a flight to catch Any ideas?
Key turning does nothing, anyone local can have a look? It’s been fine other than the suspension lights been been on and off thanks if you can

Try putting a new battery on it. A good powerful one, not one for a Nissan Micra.

plus 1 to that ref the battery , know it can cause havoc along without knowing what the alternators output is,

Have a split charge system in mine , main battery is a 019

also seen a lot of cases that if a cheap alternator is fitted can cause issues , denso is the one that should be used

Fingers crossed is hasn’t spun the bearings and is indeed just a duff battery / alternator

hi and welcome

is u post ur question over here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/range-rover.10/

more will see it and be able to help

As a side note, need to start with a multimeter and see what volts u have on the battery

Welcome to LZ.
As above..... Sounds like Battery is low/duff.
Stick a proper new one on or take a charged-up gel-pack starter and attach it to get it started and then disconnect the gel-pack and look at the battery volts at 2,000 rpm with all lights and heaters A/C etc. ON. if low volts (<14.2V) maybe your alternator is goosed and has led to your battery's demise.

Must admit the isuzi do have a good reputation

thks, has come along way , have left to do , brake hoses, rear drop links and replacing some slightly marked interior panels , managed to get some really good second hand ones that are immaculate, also got to replace the ATF oil ,will struggle with that though

oh yes and fit a Bluetooth TMPS that can be monitored via my iPad, also have the apps on my iPad to monitor both batteries

also got an auto dip mirror , rain sensor which incorporates the light auto function , have the gap iid so can turn it all on after fitment , finished the retrofit of D4 steering wheel with stalks, heated windscreen jets , suspension rebuilt, fully serviced , belts done

Now drives extremely nice, comfortable , very quiet on the motorway , cruise control also now done

Knew it needed a lot work when I bought it, bodges took along time to sort out , but at the end of the day well pleased with it and best model I’ve owned so far
