Hi, I am new to the world of Land Rover, and after just 5 days have encountered a problem that I hope someone can help me with?
My range rover is fitted with a Hornet Maxx1 alarm/immobiliser which I think is causing a battery problem. The battery had gone flat and therefore the alarm had activated. I got a jump start, and took it to Halfords, where the kind man put a meter on the battery. Having only gone a few miles, the battery had already retrieved 46% power, and the test also showed that the battery was receiving a good charge. I was then told that a common fault is that there is an aerial receiving the signal from the immobiliser/alarm, and this often picks up signals from wifi in the area causing it to drain the battery.
I guess, my question is, is the halfords man talking rubbish, and if so any ideas what it might be, and lastly, if he tells the truth, where might I find the aerial so that I can disconnect it?
Help!!!
