I am in the middle of a major overhaul of my 1999 TD5 Defender, and it seems my alternator is over heating.
Any ideas why???
Any ideas why???
inside dirty or bearing getting ready to pack it in or over charging
How do you know it's over heating ??
I have just measured the amps that the alternator is putting out, and it is averaging about 80. I have been told, that it should be around 20 so the problem seems to be it is over charging.
Bugger.
Just another point............
The Defender is a Special Vehicles version, and has a split charging system. I am only using 1 battery at present............Could this have anything to do with it???
