thanks for the quick replies, first of all i've done a check with amp meter & removed each fuse to see if there is a drain but found nothing.Not sure how old battery is, battery goes flat overnight but sometimes can go flat when parked up after travelling 20 miles, all locations . Never tried disconnecting battery overnight yet but will try it this weekend. many thanks |

Really sounds like duff battery, and given it has gone flat several times it won't be in peak condition any more. But worth checking out the alternator before stumping up the (@) £110 for a new battery.

Had the same with mine as soon as it became colder last year. I had the battery replaced by an LR specialist who were very surprised to see the car had it's original battery ('05 car).

its sounds like your battery has a floating cell, theres nothing on the car that can drain a good battery in 20mins. |

had similar. Check what alternator is producing on and off load but my advice would be to change the battery (100Amp min) - LR put a warranty battery in a week after ownership and it never was very good - flat battery every two months or so. Paid for a Bosch one from Costco - she has not missed a beat since. Lock the car overnight too - shuts every module down properly - consider also a battery conditioner - Lidl do a good one every now and then for not much!

I reckon it's a dud battery too. However it could be a faulty alternator.

1. What was the drain amp draw when you tested it? 2. Check alternator is charging correctly (13.5v - 14.5v) electrics on. Ie heater, lights, stereo ect and rev to 2000rpm. Range rover td6 54 reg touch screen |
