Consumer Description
Vehicle display provided warning of Electrical Fault and shorty thereafter the vehicle "bricked" ie. became entirely inoperable. I was able to jump start the engine but as soon as the vehicle was disconnected from the jumping power source the vehicle's engine shut down. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. The tech with the towing truck jump started the vehicle and noted the problem appeared to be with the alternator (ie. excessive draw on the power source). The dealership has tentatively diagnosed the problem as the DC-DC converter which serves as the alternator in this vehicle. The part has been back ordered for quite some time. The failure of this component seems to be a widespread issue with a number of Land Rover models.
