2007 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver

is charging 13.6 at 2K RPM enough?

The battery light has come on and wont stop telling me something is wrong.
Today they messured 14 at starting up the engine and a fall back to 13.6 with airco, and everything switched on at 2000 RPM
Battery is tested and is OK.
So should I replace the alternator or is it something else.

any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
Regards
Robert

I would suspect that's a wee bit low. With my IIDTool plugged in, mine reads over 14v Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Mine dropped to 13.8v for about a week before that dreaded smell of fubared alternator....

Having said that I've got three meters and they all read something different so I don't think there is much accuracy with them..... Pete

Just to be even more encouraging I'm afraid you need a new alternator before it takes the battery with it.
Very common problem with 2007 FF's for some reason.
