Hi all. 2010 l322 range rover tdv8 3.6 with 95000 miles. Last couple of days, a few miles in "ping" charging fault message + red battery symbol +red triangle. A few minutes later, warning lights disappear. Another few minutes "pings" again, same messages/lights. Couple minutes more warnings disappear and don't return for rest of journey. Same today. About 5 miles in "ping". I timed it this time. Warnings stayed on 9 minutes then cleared. 1 minute later, they are back. 3 minutes after that they've cleared again and stay clear for next 40 miles, A road and motorway cruising at 70mph.
Battery showing 12.4v with engine off. Just over 14v with engine idling at about 800rpm.No appreciable increase in voltage with higher revs.
I appreciate many comments suggesting demise of alternator at this age/mileage, but the way the fault presents, early on, then disappears has me scratching my head.
Any thoughts?
