rev counter gone awol

(1/3) > >>

J B:
just noticed tonight while out, the rev counter is readign all over the place, nothing at tickover then 500 when it should be about 1500 - 2000, then if it feels like it reads ok when im doing about 3000, otherwise iits bouncing all over the place,

any ideas oh wise ones :cry:

Wanderer:
It tends to be the alternator that's playing up.

HTH

Paul:
Yep.. Have the same with mine when the alternator takes a soaking.

J B:
dont see how, unless the alternators about to give up, is this land rovers idea of an early warning devise???

it hasnt got wet  :roll:

gords:
Mine does the same thing on occasions - it's doing it at the moment, in fact!

Have a check at the back of the alternator and check the wiring is secure. I found that an earth wire had come loose (but not broken) and once I fixed it the rev counter worked again!
