2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

RRS Break Down

Hi, my 05 (80k)RRS TDV6 HSE broke down with all accessories lights come up on the dashboard (ABS, DSC, battery, suspension, etc) tonight. Could notr start the engine for a while, the AA came did the jump-start the engine up and told me the alternator was gone (not charging up the battery). The car was towed home. Has anyone experience this? I'd like to know if there is only alternator or major seriuos problem(s).
Thanks

Reading between the lines all the lights come on when the ignition is turned on mate and if the car dont start they will remain on and the frist turn of the ignition. Alternator is a classed as consumable part I believe so i doubt ull get anything from LR due to the age of the car, might be worth a try tho. Personally is get a price from an independent for a recon alternator you might also get a few quid back on an exchange on the old one.

Fairly common - 99% sure it's ether battery or alternator not charging battery. Don't worry. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
