Go to a decent Motor Factor and give them your reg. They will tell you which you need.

hiya

if u look under ur bonnet , on the alternator there is a small label on top

which shows what amps it is

mines a 2002 td4 auto and mines a 150 amp alternater

have u managed to get part numbers etc

gstuart · Mar 7, 2015

this should be the part number u need

Land Rover Freelander | 150 Amp ALTERNATOR | 2.0 TD4 (A1970)

daft question but it is defently ur alternator and not the battery

reason i asked is I think they are abit of a pig to change ??

ok mate , wasn't being rude but the thought of changing the wrong part,erm been there done that , not with an alternator

hope u don't need therapy after getting the bill

always say to local freelander owners and see ur only in dartford , bluewater I've got a hawkeye so if u ever need ur motor plugging in plse feel free to come over and will do it foc, will save u getting ripped off at the dealers

hope it all gets sorted out and back up and running

update *

all fixed

i let my local garage have the pleasure of doing this for me, for a small sum.
Id like to have done it myself but its not an easy place to get too and as i need the car asap it was just easier for them to have the pleasure.
£400 s worth of pleasure

thanks again for your help guys, and gstuart, yea, id like to have it plugged in sometime to see what else is expensive lol
and it would be good to meet a fellow freebie.

cheers all

glad u got it all sorted out and saved all the skin on ur knuckles , lol

doesn't sound a bad price either and at least it comes with a warranty

if ur ever at a loose end and want to pop over for a cuppa , can easily plug the hawkeye in for u to see if anything shows up and can clear any faults , too

gary

Help (again) My 1999 TD5 has let me down once again! After buying a new battery 6 weeks ago,I left my Landy for four days and when I tried to start it,the new battery didn't have enough charge. I live in Germany and so it's not easy to find a good Landrover mechanic.I just read in a German forum that the tD5s alternator cannot be repaired but has to be renewed! Is that the case? If not, I would first replace the coles (is that the correct name? Any suggestions out there would be much appreciated. Thanks - in advance. PS: If the problem has to do with the "coles", how big a job would that be?

If it's a td5 then you need the Discovery forum.
If it's a TD4 you can get an alternator on an exchange basis which makes it a bit cheaper. Just ask at your local motor parts, they should be able to help.

If the battery went flat while you weren't using it - why are you so certain its the alternator? I would have thought its a short circuit/drain on the battery somewhere.
