I had the 'charging system fault' message come up.... 1200+ miles ago (early December) and, apart from the gauge showing charging at 13.2-13.4v when it's supposed to be 14-14.5, a remapping centre and TWO auto sparks cannot even find a fault code. Got to get to the bottom of it as MoT is looming.... So sorry for you - that's the kind of trip I wanted to take my 4.4 tdv8 on (same year as yours but a Vogue, not SE) but 'dis-inclined' now tbh. Ironically, a Duster was the other car I considered before buying the l322, but opted for the RR as I couldn't get all the kit for my gazebo hire business in the back. Lastly, it's interesting what vehicles the French go for in the mountains. Some years ago, we went to Isola 2000 on new years eve which involves a steep climb up a twisty road with 6in compacted snow all the way. There's an 'Obligatoire' snow chain sign at the bottom, so we put ours on. We'd hired a mk1 Opel/Vauxhall Meriva and noticed on the main road approaching the turn for I2k how many others we passed or saw. When we started going up the hill to I2k almost everything else was struggling, but us and every other Meriva was shooting up the road! And front wheel drive only.

@@shanewaterman4125 very interesting. When my alternator packed up it didn’t give a fault code that the GAP IID tool could read so don’t assume that the ‘charging system fault’ message leaves a fault code.

They are actually just a very comfortable way to make the journey.

My alternator packed up on my way home from Wales we got recovered near Stoke on Trent on our way to Nottingham, but he only took us so far then dropped us off for another breakdown truck to picked us up outside of Derby and took us home. From breaking down to getting my car off the breakdown truck at home was a very long 9 hours. Trying to get someone to repair it was a problem as it was in a difficult position not many garages like working on them. So after various faults over 3 years I decided it wasn't worth the expensive and uncertainty every time I went any distance in it that it might breakdown. As it also started jumpingout of gear after one 80000 miles despite having a gearbox service at 55000.
