Hi,
My good ole' dad has given me his old landie, which tbh needs quite a bit of work, the bodywork mainly. As i want to resurrect the beast, I'm hoping to add front spotlights, possibly do the 2002 dash mod and add a decent sound system.
With all this extra load in mind i did the sums, checked the alternator spec - Magneti Marelli A127-45 (original from 1991! Done 140,000 miles!), I'm assuming the 45 means 45 Amps, anyways i don't think the alternator will cope with the added demand. I was looking around the net and can't really find much in the way of Defender 200TDI alternators, there are lots of Disco ones. I would like one around the 100amp mark.
Does anybody know whether any of the 200TDi disco alternators fit or where all the Defender ones are?
Cheers
