Electrical:

The following guidelines are intended to ensure the safety of the operator whilst preventing damage to the electrical and electronic components fitted to the vehicle. Where necessary, specific precautions are detailed in the relevant sections of this document, reference to these precautions should be made prior to commencing repair operations.

Equipment – Prior to commencing any test procedure on the vehicle, ensure that the relevant test equipment is working correctly and any harnesses or connections are in good condition. This particularly applies to mains lead or connections.

WARNING: Before commencing work on an ignition system, all high tension terminals, adaptors and diagnostic equipment for testing should be inspected to ensure that they are adequately insulated and shielded to prevent accidental personal contact and to minimise the risk of shock. Wearers of surgically implanted pacemaker devices should not work in close proximity to ignition circuits or diagnostic equipment.

Polarity – Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and always observe correct polarity when connecting test equipment. High Voltage Circuits – Whenever disconnecting live ht circuits, always use insulated pliers and never allow the open end of the ht lead to come into contact with other components, particularly ECU's. Since high voltage spikes can occur on the terminals of the coil while the engine is running, exercise caution when measuring the voltage at these points.

WARNING: The Xenon headlamp system generates up to 28,000 V and contact with this voltage could lead to fatality. Make sure that the headlamps are switched off before working on the system. Refer to the guidelines given in the 'General Information' section of the Service Repair Procedures Workshop Manual before any work is carried out.

Common symptoms

- fault messages such as alternator or gearbox failure.
- lights flashing even when switched off eg headlights and indicators flashing like a police car.
- windows, sunroof not working and/or cruise control not working.
- these expensive batteries are not lasting as long as they should (eg one year instead of seven).
- lots more examples of electrical things not working, fault messages, strange behaviour etc.
- most of these tests apply equally to all 12 volt cars but details have been specified for the P38 RR.
P38 Range Rover electricals are very sensitive to voltage. You need a good strong alternator, clean earth points, healthy cables and a very strong battery. Testing takes about five minutes.

Battery Test

- Turn the ignition key to the on position but DO NOT start the car.
- Turn on all electrical accessories (max heater blower, high beam lights, demister etc).
- Leave accessories on for 30 seconds.
- Turn off all accessories and turn key switch to the off position.
- Within one minute, measure battery voltage.

If the battery voltage is less than 12.5, the battery is not healthy. The battery may need to be replaced, however there is no point doing this before you are certain it is being charged properly. Weak charging circuits kill batteries pretty quickly. If you do need a new battery get a really good one (I no longer recommend Optima BTW)

When diagnosing an electrical fault, follow the steps below:
1. Read the circuit description appropriate to the reported fault to ensure a good understanding of circuit operation.
2. Study the power distribution, fuse details and earth distribution diagrams and identify other circuits which share fuses and/or earth points. Check whether these circuits operate correctly.
3. Using the photographs contained in the Connector section, locate a point on the circuit (approximately half way between supply and earth) which is easily accessible.
4. Check that the pin-out details of the connector are correct and that the correct signals exist at the correct terminals.
5. Using a suitable non-permanent marker, mark the parts of the circuit you have verified.
6. Continue to the next point on the circuit which is easiest to access and repeat the above.
7. Continue with this approach until a fault is found, rectify the fault and then verify that the circuit operates correctly.

CAUTION: Never probe directly into the front face of a connector. This can damage the terminal and cause a failure. Always probe the back of a terminal, taking care not to damage the terminal or any seals. Never probe wire insulation. On small diameter cables this can cut the conductors. It may also allow moisture into the cable, causing corrosion

Electronics ::

As automotive electric technology advances and grows, we're seeing it move from small city cars to larger vehicles. Toyota and Tesla have both shown electric crossover models, and electric drivetrains are being swapped into existing vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now, Land Rover is preparing to show an electric update to the most unlikely of models ... the boxy, rugged Defender.

Seven electric Defenders will appear at the Geneva Motor Show The e-Defender uses a single-speed gearbox and four-wheel-drive system Land Rover has a fleet of seven electric Defenders to showThe electric Defender research vehicles will be on display in GenevaView all Until Land Rover replaces it with something lame like the DC100 concept, the Defender will continue to serve as the epitome of the brand's tough, no-compromise utility. Like a Jeep Wrangler or Toyota FJ Cruiser, the model's powerful, hard-lined build inspires daydreams of red-rock crawls and geysering stream crossings.

The square-cornered, 4,400-lb (2,000-kg) brute seems like a strange place to begin experimentation with electric driving. Land Rover, however, is interested in tinkering around with potential off-road applications of electric technology. So the Defender is a natural place to start, not to mention an interesting headline for the company. Land Rover says that the electric version still has "tough, go-anwhere capability," just delivered in a zero-local-emissions package.

"This project is acting as a rolling laboratory for Land Rover to assess electric vehicles, even in the most arduous all-terrain conditions," said Antony Harper, Jaguar Land Rover Head of Research. "It gives us a chance to evolve and test some of the technologies that may one day be introduced into future Land Rover models."

The company will showcase a series of seven electric Defender 110 vehicles at the Geneva Motor Show. The "one day" that Harper mentions won't be in the near future, as Land Rover admits outright that it has no production plans for the Defender research vehicles. It will, however, test the electric off-roaders in real world trials later this year.

Land Rover leaves the typical diesel engine and transmission on the factory floor, making room for a 90-bhp (70 kW) electric motor and 27 kWh battery pack. Instead of using two electric motors, as all-wheel-drive electrics tend to do, Land Rover routes power through the Defender's usual four-wheel-drive system. It also uses a single-speed 2.7:1 reduction gearbox and a modified version of Land Rover's Terrain Response System. The e-Defender includes the usual differential lock for extra traction in slick, rigorous off-road situations.

With a 900-pound (410 kg) battery pack to lug around, the electric Defender is bound to be heavier than the ICE version. Land Rover uses air cooling rather than liquid cooling to help save weight, making an electric version that weighs just 220 pounds (100 kg) more than the standard Defender 110.

The battery can be charged in four hours using a 7 kWh fast charger or 10 hours with a 3 kWh charger. Land Rover also optimized the regenerative braking system. When used with the Hill Descent Control, the motor can generate 30 kW of electricity.

Land Rover said it's tested the electric Defender's capabilities in about 2.5 feet (800 mm... Land Rover says that the electric Defender offers some serious utility off the pavement, with the electric powertrain's low-speed capabilities well-suited to climbing obstacles. Trials of the Defender-based Leopard 1 electric proved that it could pull a 13.2-ton (12-tonne) road train up a 13 percent grade and wade through more than 2.5 feet (800 mm) of water.

While Land Rover's EV experiment is interesting, it's unlikely to result in an off-road-capable electric anytime soon. Up until battery capacity and EV design improve markedly, electric powertrains and off-roading will make strange bedfellows unlikely to yield a practical production-ready vehicle. If range anxiety is a problem on highways, it's exponentially larger on dirt and rock roads far away from civilization. Even gas 4x4ers tend to carry around a fuel can to prevent getting stranded in nowhereland. EVs will need to offer many times that 50-mile (80-km) range before they start hitting 4x4 roads in any meaningful way.

The main function of the four wheel air suspension system is to maintain the vehicle at the correct ride height, irrespective of load. Additionally, the system allows the driver to request ride height changes to improve off-road performance or ease of access or for loading. The system automatically adjusts the ride height to improve the vehicle handling and dynamics when speed increases or decreases. The air suspension system fitted to Range Rover is controlled by an ECU located behind the passenger side of the fascia. The ECU monitors the height of each corner of the vehicle via four height sensors, which are mounted in-board of each road wheel. The ECU also performs an 'on-board diagnostic' function to perform 'health checks' on the system. If faults are detected, codes are stored in the ECU and can be retrieved using TestBook or T4.

CAUTION: Never probe directly into the front face of a connector. This can damage the terminal and cause a failure. Always probe the back of a terminal, taking care not to damage the terminal or any seals. Never probe wire insulation. On small diameter cables this can cut the conductors. It may also allow moisture into the cable, causing corrosion.

Range Rover Air Con Compressor Fitting::

When a failed Range Rover air conditioning compressor is replaced by a new Range Rover a/c compressor, it is so important to have the lubricant distributed evenly across the Range Rover air conditioning compressor and the a/c system before engaging the system for the first time.

If this is overlooked and the Range Rover air con compressor is engaged immediately after is has been charged with refrigerant, it may happen that all the oil in the Range Rover a/c compressor will be pushed out all at once while there is no oil yet to enter the Range Rover air conditioning compressor on the other side. This is caused by the fact that it takes some time for the oil to spread across the system and mix with the refrigerant. Eventually the Range Rover ac compressor may be damaged because of a lack of lubrication during the first few minutes of operation.

This will of course be more problematic after the system has been flushed, this will mainly be the case after the Range Rover air con compressor has suffered a catastrophic failure with metal particles from the Range Rover a/c compressor being spread across the entire system.

A rule of thumb guide when installing a new Range Rover air con compressor is to manually turn the Range Rover a/c compressor pulley to make sure that the oil is distributed through the Range Rover air con compressor evenly. Experienced engineers will normally turn the Range Rover ac compressor 10—15 times to ensure that oil has been pushed around the system.

There is still more to do to prepare the Range Rover air con compressor, knowing and following the procedure will be of great importance if a newly installed Range Rover air conditioning compressor should fail after a short period of time and within its warranty period. There is no bigger disappointment than having a warranty claim denied because something as simple as the following procedure has been overlooked.

Generally new Range Rover a/c compressors are supplied charged with oil, but it is always recommended that you check this by draining the new Range Rover air con compressor to check the amount of oil in the Range Rover air conditioning compressor.

Then once you have removed the old Range Rover a/c compressor you should do the same again, empty the old Range Rover ac compressor of oil to see how much oil was in it and then fill the new Range Rover air con compressor with the same amount this is to avoid over charging the system with oil.

After this has been done and the Range Rover a/c compressor has been fitted, you do not engage the Range Rover air con compressor with the engine running until the following steps have been followed.
1. Open all air louvers at the dash board, 
2. Start the engine and let it stabilise at idle speed,
3. Set the blower at maximum speed, 
4. Engage the a/c system and operate it continuously for 2 minutes at below 1500 rpm.

After the two minutes the Range Rover air con compressor oil will have distributed evenly throughout the Range Rover a/c system.
