anyone has an idea???, i have a discovery 97 v8 4.0, and i just changed the battery 2 months ago for a new one, but this one that i have just placed, is already discharged. So could it be something else that is wasting the battery??? |

Could be your grounds or maybe a bad diode in your alternators voltage regulator. I posted some info on the ground points for years 95-96, not sure if will help with a 97. Check here

Have the old battery tested to ensure you were not sold a dud.
Have you had any lamps etc added lately. I had same problem and Auto Electrician tracked fault by multimeter to faulty wiring in fog lamps.
Also had the cruddy connector on the alternator/solenoid replaced after a flat.
Feel sure someone out there will advise how to track down using a multimeter and fuse removal to isolate fault. |
