Hi all, I have a 200TDI disco....I have an issue which I think is pretty standard which is the charge light coming on when I go through a decent size puddle....obviously water making the belt slip.....it goes away after

I was wondering if there is an upgrade or a way to stop this happening so much....it does it with big puddles let alone wading....

I believe the 300TDI doesn't do this due to a better belt

thanks

I would have thought the 300 would be worst as the alternator sits a bit lower?

my 200 does the same though..
