A week or so I got a charging system full error, which has now gone, but getting continuous low battery messages now on my two year old 405. Auto close in the boot not working, etc .Can’t believe I’m getting errors like this on a two year old car. Any ideas?

can you fill in your car profile please, it'll help with answering your question.. ... - .- -.

Had Charging Fault on mine after 2 months of ownership, LRA found the Gateway module running a low level of code, upgraded it, not seen it since.

Happy old thread bump.

My 2018MY of 3 days ownership is showing a charging system fault, I need to go 50 miles the other way to the dealers in the morning, how likely is it to let me down?

Tailgate is working fine under its own steam as that seems to a barometer of battery condition (it hashed good few runs in the last few days as I've been going the long way everywhere) First time FFRR owner

If you've got a mulitmeter, take a reading from the battery when the cars running, anything from 13 volts upwards is good.

Don't know whether you bought it from an franchised dealer or not, if you did it should have an LR warranty, call LR assist they'll come out and read the codes and upgrade any modules that are down revision.

cheers mutely, I forgot about LR assist.I'll get a MM on it in a bit First time FFRR owner

Checked the voltages, engine not running, battery is at 12.36v which I thought may be a touch low, engine running it was at 15.2v which I thought maybe a bit high.

Hopefully this means it can go back and be mended in more slow time than on the back of a truck of shame. First time FFRR owner

*old thread bump

Just had this fault show up on the L322 (2012 4.4). First felt a loss of power steering and then the ‘charging system faulty’ showed up along with restricted performance and red battery icon on the dash.
I was 20 miles from home at the time and decided to chance it either home or to the local Indy in town hoping the battery wouldn’t die. It did get me to the garage where I’ve parked it up for them to hopefully get to it asap this week. Did give me a good workout on the arms for sure!!
Using the GAP tool it showed voltage down at 11.5v when I stopped and had restarted the engine, so I’m glad I took it straight there rather than home and chance another drive out to them.

So my thoughts initially are: is this likely the alternator? If so, can anyone advise on approx costs/labour hours to do this job and if it is alternator are there other jobs i should consider doing at this time being in there?

in advance… Cheers, Steven.
