Range Rover Ron:
Hello Guys,
Just an up date...

I had a look around on Saturday, my suspicion now is that it is indeed an earthing problem.
I went through all the electrickery bits and all seem OK,
I had everything switched on, the wipers, heaters, blowers, full beam, rear screen heater, radio, hazards....evrything and the alternator still showed a bit extra output than was being used with all these bits on.

I will check the rear lights as I did have a problem a few months ago, when I was on the Strata Florida they stopped working, I stripped out the lights and cleaned all the contacts, all then was OK, but is now a thing to double check.

Thanks for everyones input and help.

Cheers,

ron.

Range Rover Ron:
Thanks to everyone who offered ideas to sort out my problem.
The good news is I think it is now history!

I found the earth strap from the battery was not connected properly, the earth was connected directly to the chassis and not conected to the body.

I noticed that the earth strap had a second "eye", so I re-routed the earth strap and connected the "eye" to the body at the earth point on the front inner wing.

Since then I have had no problems but have only really run around for about 10 miles, it looks good though, as my radio used to go off at the top of the road!

Thanks again fellow Mud-Clubbers,

Ron.

Range Rover Ron:
Yes guys, it's now officially history.

The earth strap needs to be connected to the body and the chassis.
As I said I found that the "second" eye was not connected to the body, this must have been the problem as since then there has been no electrickery trouble.

Thanks again for all the hints and help from my fellow mud clubbers.
