Now for some reason My 1990 Ninety has imperial brake fittings [I have owned it from near new so no one has cobbled it] Why ? when others from the 80's are metric! Tdi on should...

    making brake pipes

    Pretty basic stuff, have a look at the You tube. Several video's on "how to" also showing the different kits available. Good one's by Britannica restorations ltd. As above do some free practice before making actual ones. What year is your Landy?

    Alternator failed - how to safely continue driving

    Yes, 14.2 is more like it. However A more powerful alternator that helps when you have heavy load items in use much of the time like winch doing a job like log hauling or playing in a winch challenge.

    Began the underseal removal off my 1999 300 Tdi

    Looking pretty good in that pic, must have been a good underseal [plenty of rubbish ones about] Truck may have been a sales demonstrator or something like that to account for date.

    200Tdi

    Has it been left outside some time? If so the ports on that engine/turbo have been open to atmosphere and done no good. You know Land Rovers and axles and gearbox may be usable, however value is as @Dippypud says in the chassis.

    Alternator failed - how to safely continue driving

    To check. Use a multimeter set in dc volts across battery terminals will tell if alternator is still working. It may be the bit that cuts the power to the dash charge lamp has quit. Engine on [and rev it a bit] and off. See if it agrees with your dash meter.
