I don’t think it was a cooling fan issue,.....! The journey Home was -3C which was most probably the reason why the alternator didn’t re-charge the battery over the 30 mile journey as I was trying to turn off Front & Rear screen heaters, screens, AC etc etc.
All too much for the system.
Glad they found your issue. But, a bad thermo or failed solenoid can cause the fan to kick on even when it's not needed, which is why that particular failure is sometimes hard to diagnose....
I see @AndrewS has left car for 3 weeks which is useful info for me.
Has anyone left their D5 for longer than 3 weeks?
I work away and car could be parked up for 6 weeks or so. So I'm concerned about long term battery drain. My Freelander 2 is fine with this, just goes into "Deep Sleep", have to do manual key open, but no battery issues.
However the Jag XK will not last much more than 2 weeks without battery drain causing spurious fault codes and warnings (known issue on XKs) - Garaged with Ctek connected 24-7 to stop these issues.
