Went through some deep water last week!
Long story, short! I’ve now got no ignition lights on dash! And car won’t start! Car has thrown up most of the fault codes in its reportoire!
The car did run perfectly for 3-4 days after the water! Then the codes and no dash lights!

Assuming you've ruled out the obvious (battery/terminals) my first guess would be the ignition switch, I've changed one and it seems to be an increasingly regular occurrence, the fact that the main dealer had one in stock suggested to me that they must have needed a few?

The deep water won't have done your alternator any favours and your car is after all a 2007, the jinxed year for alternators.

Interior lights still work, hand brake light on dash works!
New alternator 3 years ago and brand new battery 6 weeks ago!
Car did start without the ignition lights then died! 2007 VOGUE SE 3.6 TDV8

Have you checked voltage of battery ? 2015 4.4 AB

I've had a ' google' and a few peeps mention the battery earth strap may be the culprit, some ran a earth grade cable from the negative terminal to the engine block. 2015 4.4 AB

My Range Rover is in the best place in Scotland! Mike Park MMP, but unfortunately Mike is so busy (been there two weeks!) that he can’t get to it!
I’ve had to walk to work a few times 8 miles, and need my car back!
So need to get this car back on the road.
Any pointers may speed up the recovery!


Thanks guys

Is it cranking ?

Yes it’s cranking 2007 VOGUE SE 3.6 TDV8

Ok so that takes out the battery harness as culprit - is it damp under drivers seat think the ECU is mounted there mine did something similar but not so severe and it just needed drying out it was a while ago when we were flooded I put a small dehumidifier in over night - have a look at the ecu and see if it is damp

Thanks sandt,
Car is in the garage in Dundee, miles from here, just looking for pointers. I’m sure Mikey will be checking, when he gets a moment!
Thanks 2007 VOGUE SE 3.6 TDV8
