Welcome to he insanity Jack. Thumbs Up

Battery knackered and taking the alternator with it would be my guess. But as a non techie, best wait on a knowledgeable answer. Whistle

PS Which LR dealer u using in Sunny Surrey??

As another non techie - maybe an over tensioned drive belt?

Just a thought.

Yep, not yet run in properly. If it improves a wee bit I'll be getting 50mpg cruising at 75 - 80mpg. Smile Re fast driving, did a few ped to the met overtakes on the A9 and compared with my remapped D3 it's a rocket ship. Better keep an eye open for white vans in lay bys! Shocked

PS Jack you'll have noticed we're not that good at staying on topic here. Whistle

Well the old favourite would be a poor connection on the negative battery cable where it connects to the body.

But surely the dealer would have traced it.
