Scotland 2004 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Java Black
Hi all newbie here

Hi folks great site. As all newbies I have some questions, here goes; I bought a 2004 L322 4.4v8 about a month ago and these issues have come up.
1. Engine light has come on since day one.
2. My jeep is only getting 230miles max out of a full tank of opitmax (£120), with some town driving and the car is not driven hard. Is this normal??
3. Trans. fail safe keeps flashing up.
4. air bag light comes and goes aswell.
The jeep is booked in to get looked at but was wanting some advice/info before it goes in.

Regards
Barry

This may sound overly critical, especially for your first post, but PLEASE do not call it a Jeep. This will not do yourself any favours. It is not a Jeep, a Jeep is a model of car quite seperate to Range Rover.

For clarity, here's how to tell the difference:

JEEP



Range Rover

if the battery is low on power when you start the car it pulls the voltage i suspect below 9v this then triggers the various ecus to go into backup mode hence the faults
