You'll need to check with the dealer to see if your voltage regulator is in the alternator or in the computer. If it is in the alternator and you bought a rebuilt unit, it is possible you have a faulty alternator. Check with the dealer first as to the location and then remove your alternator and have it tested. New alternators usually cost more but there is less possibility of faulty components inside. If your regulator is in the computer then you are in for a greater expense in replacing the computer.

My 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 will not start. When I insert the key and turn it to the third position, none of the dashboard lights come on and the radio doesn't work. Tried jump-starting the car but...

While the voltmeter reads 12 volts doesn't mean that the battery is good. Have a load test done on the battery as it may have a dead cell. Jumping a battery with a dead cell will not work as all the power from the jumper goes straight to the dead cell

Rover 420 diesel battery keeps going flat

looks like you have something draining the battery (something electrical staying on) disconnect your battery negative terminal and connect a test light between the battery post and the wire clamp if the light comes on you have battery drain (make sure interior light is out when testing) you now need to go through all elctrical systems to trace the reason why ( check boot light goes out first this was a favorite cause)

Radio unlock code for 1998 land rover discovery

Give the dealership your VIN# and they will in turn provide you with an 'unlock' code. Input the code and you should have radio. If not, you will need to remove the radio and give the dealer the chassis # found on the case.
