time for a new battery - which one
its time to replace the D4 battery before installing the dual battery setup after Geoff plugged in all the bits to turn the car into a sauna first thing in the morning. Brilliant.
PS: Geoff I will have the trailer tent at billing with a cool box full of beer for you to tuck into.(if the batteries on that work)
so
What is the recommended battery to replace the original. mine is 3 1/2 years old so not an AGM.
any suggestions?

i may well be down southampton way in the near future so will be in touch when i know when.
Presumably there is no "special" way you need to disconnect and re connect the new battery?

Well a bit special.
The car needs to go to sleep, which takes a few minutes with the key fob away from the vehicle, before removing the negative cable first. On refitting fit the positive first and the negative last.
Best done with the car unlocked and the driver's window open, just in case.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
