Howdy all!
I have quite a dilema here and wanted some expert advice to compare against the diganosis the dealer is going to give me.... I have a '03 RR 56K miles. Throughout the winter season something has been draining the batttery. I have had the car jumped three times and replaced the battery thinking that it was the culprit. However less than two weeks later as of today the battery is totally dead. I have noticed that the fan that the HVAC fan seems to run for quite a while after the car is turned offis this normal? In anycase on my last jump the car came alive but now the blower does not go off -- even with the car off! The electronic temapture control and other climate control functions work but I only have one constant speed -- fast... Did the jump create this issue or do you'll suspect this was the root cause all along. If so what will be the likely fix and pain $$? Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks

First, go to a local auto parts store and have them check your battery and alternator, Rovers are know to have alternators fail causing a battery drain.
