Set off for 300 mile trip to Cornwall, start engine, ignition warning light dims but does not go out, then I notice that rev counter is not working. Hmmm. Turn headlights on, rev counter works. Turn headlights off, rev counter stops working. Abandon plan to drive to Cornwall as have no idea if battery is receiving any charge. And, of course, all the local garages close at lunchtime on Saturday! Presumably some sort of alternator defect? Any ideas anyone? Something that's fixable or am I looking at a new alternator? It's a 1989 Range Rover with a 300 TDI diesel conversion. Thanks in advance. Simon.
