I meant who was it from,put 313523877605 into the Bay it will show you a Napa alternator for your vehicle for £92.35.the only thing I can think of is that the wrong alternator was in the box.Best speak to your supplier.

Your new alternator is the wrong one as others have said. No need to fork out £300 for an alternator, £15 for a new regulator for your existing alternator is all that's needed.
even if you were to fit the new alternator, I would bet it has a 13.8 volt set point so would be of no help.

Thanks.
I dont know.
But, I have no idea how to do anything like dismantling alternators.
Exchanging parts is the easier and faster option for me.
I watched a video how to fix them, but knowing me if I come accross problems I can't solve by fiddeling with this stuff I may order a new on as it is faster done.
Plus I have no bench for it, only the kitchen worktop.
She would kill me doing it before x mas now and leave the stuff tol its done.
I have no idea how to get them set to 14.7
That's all new to me. I usual would get one and exchange the existing.like for like.

Fit the new alternator and check the charge rate with a multimeter if it's not putting out over 14 volts get the regulator and strip your old alternator to see how to fit it , only takes a few minutes.

If you can undo the bolts to remove the alternator, I'm sure you could manage to undo the 5 or 6 screws to remove the back cover and swap the regulator.

He's ordered the one I posted for comparison
Not everybody wants to start dismantling stuff.
Time/confidence/tools/place to do it.
Plus a new/reconditioned one should have new internals - esp regulator & rectifier and a warranty.
Land Rover part number for your alternator is STC2227
Search online for them using the part number - if you look on ebay you'll find pics which show the connections & also whether the alternator looks like the one you've got on. Brian's link above is about £100 delivered (the connections are covered in the pic by a new rubber boot), so you don't need to pay £300 for one.
ETA. The one you bought with the two lugs is for the V8 petrol engines.

But will the new one have the correct set point? Many do not.
It means, don't fit the one you've bought?

Well, I got the one I been recommended earlier and is in now.
1.5 hours in the rain and that thing is replaced.
Not tested yet, need to get dry first.
Bit I guess the old one was just too old and needed replacing by.
Hopeful it has the right rating so I don't need to get it out again.
Test will tell.
Not sure if the old one had 14.7.

No.
Crap , dirt , **** and oil al the way around and inside.
Not sure how old it is or how long it was inside.
Guess it's beyond refurbishing by the looks of it.
