2004 discovery TD5 190.000kms

had a couple of issues last week first off it was starting issues, seemed like a flat battery then it started fine 10mins later. called the RAA & they checked the battery which was fine & was charging fine when running. Then 2 days ago on the way back from the shops had a few warning light come up, then a few more, not long after I lost all the dash all gauges & warning lights, no indicators & the wipers were very slow but the car continued driving as normal. Any ideas

cheers rovingalong

Need a lot more information then that. What lights came on and what is the exact voltage at the battery with the engine at idle under full electrical load at idle? Must be between 13.6 and 14.4 volts.

It could be a faulty charging unit. A pal of mine had the same problem recently. But after replacing the alternator all came back to normal.
