i have got a 90 with disco 200 in it. i want to fit a 2nd alternator, what one do i use, how do i mount it and how do i sort wiring thanks
What for?
TWO alternators that connect into the same battery (i.e. the same system) is a recipe for disaster. Expect smoke and flames from one of the alternators if it doesn't like the plan.
If you need more output fit a more powerful alternator.
If you want to run a second circuit, fine, but you would be better doing it using a caravan type relay system to separate the systems while allowing power from the car to run the second one.

Lots of people manage that sort of system fine on a standard Alternator and 2 batteries. Do a google You'll find loads of blogs and sites setup by people doing long distance expeditions. Saying what works and what doesn't.
