Hi Guys
My personal car is a 2004 L322 Range Rover - and I'm having a starnge issue with it that I hope someone will know the cause - or maybe even experienced the same/similar issues before.
For reference, I had a 2010 headlight conversion done about a year ago - but I don't think it's related as the issue I have happens with or without lights on.
Ok, basically the power keeps dissapearing when driving!!! The engine does not stop, but all internal electrics shut of for a second or two and then it comes back on. Very weird!!!
In fact, if you look at the green screen with the mileage etc on the dash, you can see the power (brightness of the green) dimming and coming back up, and it will sometimes dim right down to zero - which is of course when the power shuts off for a second or two. The HDC warning also comes on of course, because it always does when power is low.
The battery seems absolutely fine and it fires up perfectly.
Strangely again, it seems that this power dip issue is most prevalent when braking (!!!) In fact, most times it dips is during braking or coming to a stop.
I also noticed that when stationary (which I guess would be with my foot on the brake!!) if I change between D and R gears without going anywhere, the gear change makes the power dim (although not shut off generally).
Like I say - the power goes off only for 1-2 seconds and the engine does not stop.
Any ideas what the hell could be going on here? I'm scared!!!!![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
PLEASE HELP!
Many thanks!
