from experience and reading on the forum , it seems once the battery gets to a certain low point all kinds of gremlins start affecting the fullfat , from dash errors to things not working properly..

I had the alternator checked yesterday by Green Flag and they said it was fine.

Having same issues as you mate, got a year old Varta I1 on it (110Ah, 920cca) and combination of cold starts and short journeys by mrsblonde with every sodding extra on has killed it I think.. Bit the bullet and bought a Bosch and fitting it tomorrow... I changed my FSR today just to be sure it's not that, was a diddly job but got there in the end |

One of the best things I did was to set the steering wheel to the position I wanted and then disabled the operation.

If the steering wheel adjuster motor is constantly running, that's what killed your battery.

If one disables the column from automatically moving, will it still be adjustable with the joystick? I may consider doing that on mine to save the headache (and expense) when it inevitably fails in a very inconvenient spot.

Had the same symptoms a few months back, thought it was the alternator but a new battery fixed all. Discovery 4 HSE

Thanks mate. I'll get it over to the stealer then and have them disable it. Was going to buy the AllComms from Storey Wilson...wonder if it'll do it.. Cheers,
