hi,

while away on business this week my wife drove my L320 - parked the car Weds evening and when attempting to start Friday the car was dead. No lights on dash, interior lights dead. No response from the car.

Battery is 3.5 years old. is it possible for a battery can fail so comprehensively or should i be looking somewhere else. I am no tech and dont have any testing equipment. Fuses|?

Alternator may have failed killing it.

If you have a charger I would get it plugged in for a day and see how it performs after that. 2010 RRS, TDV8
bali Blue / colour coded
side steps / flappy paddles
black perforated leather
22" overfinch
heated everything, TV,fridge ...... now with gold calipers and mud flaps !( black mud flaps that is) !!
Many years ago,,,,, 1955 series 1 landie , sometimes wish I had kept it

Disconnect the battery first in this case.

AndyK I think you may be right.

Had a friend over who is a Tech - we treid jump starting and he quickly noticed the leads were heating up quickly - also sparked at negatove when attaching jump leads.

Conclusion is massive draw downstream of battery - first suspect the Altenator.
2010 model with 88k so perhaps it was time.

Will get my local indie out tomorrow to check.

Thanks all.
