Deduced that its not steering related, coming from clutch end of yhe gear box, transfer box, front diff area. Noticed that changing down a gear and letting the engine speed uo causes a sligjt squeel as the clutch engages. Also seems to make the little clicking-metalic chirping noise when in reverse even if the clutch isnt engaged and jusy rolling.

So I think its drive train related but no idea what

Did thay couple weeks ago and it started dribbling out the fill hole, hadnt lost a drop. Transfer box was pretty empty, and had moisture because fluid was white. So filled that, doubt its gone down that fast

If you pop a pick of the back of the alternator up ill tell you.

this should be a better pic for you

I can't seem to get to see the part numbers but as I've said its from an x reg mondeo 2 litre 16v it's a bosch 90 amp unit

Animal88 · Apr 22, 2014

the best pic ive managed is a partial part number of
0 123 212 001
NC -> 14V 60-90A
93BB-10300-AE
thats how it seems to be laid out think that is all of the label but can't be sure I'll have to try to get a better view to confirm it

the_wolf · Apr 22, 2014

This might be a bit of a silly idea but if you posted in the correct section you might get an answer

Had a bit of a look, it seems there isnt one on this model, atleast not one with a connector, all alternators are capable of having the output for it.
Theres 2 options.. take the plastic cover off the back and have a look for a hidden connection ( post a few pics if you want) there is a slightly different model of this alternator that has said output so chances are it might still be there.
The other option is to solder a wire onto 1 of the 3 diode trio's with some decent pics of the diode area I could guide you to do it.

Animal88 · Apr 22, 2014

ok i'll let you know by pm when i have managed to get to the innerds should be this friday hopefully then i'll post pics up on my alternator thread here

Animal88 · Apr 23, 2014

timtheenchanteruk · Apr 23, 2014

window etched the fender..

VEHICLE WINDOW SECURITY CAR GLASS ETCHING KIT | eBay

only comes with 10 templates, but he threw in an extra 4 for nowt so I could do all the windows on the 110.

15 min job.

Enjoyed a slightly smoother drive into work (not counting the clunks and vibration that I haven't managed to source yet). Definitely think getting rid of the polys at the front and fitting genuine metalastik was the way forward. What a difference! Just the rear suspension arms to do and jobs a fish

Dropped son and g/friend off at Manchester airport this morning as they have both gone to Egypt for a week

the_wolf · Apr 23, 2014

Any piccies of the girlfriend?!

Today I have mostly been cursing the evil genius that designed the electric seat switches on the Discovery 1!

Having decided to explore why I had limited movemement in the seat I removed the switch to see what was going on - and promptly ended up with a pile of ball bearings, springs and bits of copper...

A little bit of logic, some contact cleaner, much swearing and things went back together..

After putting it together again I realised I'd put some of it the wrong way around - the seats would only do down and not up! The two plastic posts on the bottom left and right of the switch needed swapping around - job done!

Now I have a passanger seat that moves properly and a drivers seat that sort of moves - to save issues I think once the drivers seat is back how I want it I might just remove the fuses under the passenger seat so it stays where I want it and I don't accidentally move it!

the_wolf · Apr 23, 2014

What in the hell is that plastic mess?!

:what:.

I've got a lever underneath my seat. With this I can move it backwards and forwards a little and if it gets stiff I spray it with oil. I also have a handle at the side which let's me adjust the back or tilt it right forward if I need to. Nice and simple

What have you done to your Landie today.

NOT BOTHERED.
