Hi, I should have put this in the reply about the battery etc. I have now checked the input from the alternator and I am getting 14.46 at tickover which is similar to the 14.44 I was getting before. I will keep an eye on it though in case it is an intermittent alternator problem. My original...

Hi all many thanks for all of your replies, and helpful suggestions. I tested the cranking voltage for 3 mornings and that it was dropping to 9 volts and on one occasion just below 9. I went back to Euro Car Parts who supplied the battery 20 months ago. They were fantastic and changed the...

I have been using a digital multi meter but I am going to borrow another one from a neighbour to check out the readings as 16.5 volts seems excessive. But hey its a Land Rover anything can go wrong and often does. The car has been great until the last year and it has been fix one thing and...

Thanks for that, I will check it out today.

But why the climb to over 16,5 volts ?

Thanks Nodge68, I may try and borrow a battery and swop it and see what happens. I bought the Duracell as it seemed to be a good recognisable brand but it may not be. I have had many electronic problems recently including burn out 4v heater plugs and the throttle body chewing its self to bits...

That is why I need to find the big relay so I can measure the resistance down the feed wires to the glow plugs as I cannot get to 2 3 4 plugs with the manifold on.

I am having problems with cold starting and I have been told if I locate the relay with the four wires coming out which go to the glow plugs I can test the plugs by using the connecting wires. Thanks
