This info has been given to me by a Land rover Tech.
It has been well publicised that i have been having untold problems with my FBH.

Last week Land rover picked my car up and left me with a jaguar (not a bad car)
I had a phone call on Friday to let me know they would need to keep it over the weekend for further testing.

The results are as follows.

A Land rover super Tech came to look at my car and couldn't find anything wrong with it. However its still didn't work.
He told the local engineer that there are a batch of batteries in stock that have a problem.
They have changed my battery 3 or 4 times with new units.
The problem persists as the new units they have been fitting all have a date stamp on the negative pole. 112. This is January 2012.
They have good voltage readings but have a problem with the current (AMPS) they can deliver.
If you're having a problem with your battery and it has a date stamp 112 contact Land rover and ask for a replacement.

I hope this is the cure for my car and will have it back on Monday FBH working and ready for next years cold spell.

Including your FBH ?

Glad you have it sorted Jay.
What a palava!

I've been having problems with my battery, but when the dealer has checked it with their device, they start it's ok. But I think otherwise
Just checked my battery, a glass one, and the date stamp on the neg pole reads 18 over 12. Although it's not the same numbers could it be affected? And I read 1 over 12 as January 2012 when was mine made? Ta.

It's Land Rover warranty. Approved one.

I would take the car in and tell them about my case.
They may want to talk to Land rover Cardiff.
The name of the chap that sorted mine was Rhys. He's a master tech
