Wow what a thread. A great reminder to stay away from Reddit, people can't read and have no appreciation/understanding of how things are in other countries...I find that Facebook groups attract similar kind of dumb audiences...

There is one drawback with less common interior colours, and that is finding parts on Ebay and the likes. Heck even with a black interior I found it hard finding a parcel shelf for reclining rear seats.

apparently it is not the end of the story..

Today I experienced non start condition again, car was parked up at the mechanic for a few days prior, do i have a parasitic drain? what could it be now?

used a noco to start without issues and since then have it on a CTEK MXS15c charger and seems ok

...Ideas?

Note: The new battery state of charge was not known prior SOLD | Tuned MY 2011.5 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8 Orkney Grey | e-diff | ACC

Just a thought with the drain has it got a tracker fitted? I have read about quite a few issues with old trackers never being removed. 2007 TDV8 VSE

I am told the torque limit programmed into the TCM is 850Nm. ZF rates the torque capabilities of the 8HP70 @1000 max.

So should be ok! SOLD | Tuned MY 2011.5 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 TDV8 Orkney Grey | e-diff | ACC

update

Car is all sorted now, thanks for all your help along the way.


Things I have done:

Replaced

- Starter
- Alternator
- Battery
- Starter switch
- 4 x HVAC stepper motors
- Drivers Set Base cover
- air compressor desiccant
- Relays (40 and 70 amp)
- Rear Shocks

Addded:

- Second battery (yellowtop + traxide)
- Carplay
- Interior bulb replacement with LED
- FBH remote/receiver
- Rubber mat
- Falken wildpeak on 10 spoke wheels

Resolved: (edited)

Looks like Charging issue can be cause by various things:

- Interference
- Short
- Loose terminal
- Poor Earth
- Battery programming

Have cleaned all the major electrical contacts etc and the car is much happier.
