UPDATE. Its been a full 24 hours without a single electrical fault. Happy days, off to the pub to celebrate :-)

Got mine back today, all sorted. Turned out to be one on the main power feeds to the left of the fuses had come loose and was almost setting the sound deadening to catch fire!!! Came back from the garage with ALL my faults cured. :- Over heating indicated but cured by operating rear wiper...

Mine ('97 DSE) does this with the fuses when I indicate right or flash main beam. I'm having a second hand BcEM fitted tomorrow. Will post how I get on.

I have no idea what that is or if is any help to me or anyone with an overheating problem. Thanks, I think.

TBH, I just want some guidance. After spending 16 years fixing cars for a living (including @ LR), i'm not that bothered anymore, if it runs, I leave it well alone. Fixing cars is for kids.

Thank you. Will check tomorrow.

I dont have a rave manual. Anyone help with an earth location?

Where?

Hello, My first post so go easy. I bought my (97) 2.5 DSE about a month ago and have had alsorts of problems so far, the most serious of all the overheating. If towing our 23' caravan or 'booting' uphill I overheat. If I operate the sunroof for just a second, the guage drops back to normal...
