Right, job finished, just a matter of re-connecting new drag and track links, they were well corroded and ball joints passed their best, so complete replacements are to be fitted. I will track the front of the car with a piece of string from the rear wheels, with a bolt in the steering box in...

The new alternator is in and working, I went for a RollCom ALT336 from Advanced Factor at £132.00 all in. It includes the pump now on to the ball joints

Hi Jamie, Yes, that's always the case. I'm doing the steering knuckle ball joints at the same time and I feel sure that the second side will take half the time that this first side is taking. Anyway I've robbed a bank and a replacement Chinese ERR6999 is on it's way. hopefully the re-assembly...

Yes they have sold 70, but the ratings are more for the suppliers (ALM Electrical Solutions) performance at delivery of all their items in stock, not the quality of the Rolling Components ERR6999 alternator they sell. I am just trying to make contact with someone who has fitted this specific...

Thats great, seems I'll order them along with the Rolling Components replacement ERR6999 alternator I need as well. Thanks

Yep, includes pump: ERR6999, SierraFerry...

Sorry Neilly, I am struggling here. Have you included a link maybe?

Would you believe the new steering knuckle ball joints came without nuts! Now I am not going to use the old one, so can anyone tell me the spec of the 4 steering knuckle ball joint nuts. I believe they are 24mm nylocs, but not sure of pitch or LR part number Thnaks Steve

I need to change the Denso ERG6999 alternator on my 2003 TD6 S2. The pump seals are knackered and it seems to be a waste of time to try and source these seals to replace then. This means I am looking for a new replacement alternator + pump. At the moment ALM Electrical Solutions are coming up...

Thanks as always James. I had a nagging thought that might be the case. It's a Land Rover Denso alternator so guess it is the original part hence 15 years old. Now where to find the best value (cheapest) replacement alternator and pump...….

Well, the multi-plug on the rear of the alternator is removed by depressing the tab (part of the loom connector) and pulling damn hard, you may need to use large pliers here. Now the alternator and pump are on the bench (floor) I have removed the pump from the alternator. It would seem there are...

OK for those reading this thread think that they might change their own alternator. Dont bother, it's a pig of a job. if your a sadist or more importantly a competent mechanic, which I am nether, then OK. So I got the bottom T50 Hex bolt out (another £20 for new sockets), managed to swing the...

I have just registered for the Forum and will have a look. In the meantime I have order some NAK seals. They are recommended as the correct size.

You are right Griff I have already sussed that out. There's one spot on for the installation of the new seals.

Thanks Sierraferry, that was the consensus I had come to reading all the threads. OK, a couple of FTC4822 NAK seals ordered. Lets see if I can get the old out and the new in without damaging anything

I have read a number of threads regarding new replacement oil seals for the front drive shafts that leak after a very few miles. It would seem that there is an anomaly with the dimensions of some of the Indian replacement seals. Can anyone recommend a front driveshaft oil seal that will not leak...

No Problem Griff. OK we have progress today (I'm not a very fast spannerer), I have the steering knuckle off, the bottom ball joint eventually parted company using a reasonably substantial two jaw puller. Wind on tension, hit knuckle, wind on tension hit knuckle and bang she's off. That left...

James, Sorry to sound a pain in the arse, but you are such a helpful bloke you might be able to help on the next issue. I eventually had the viscous coupling fan spanners delivered and removed the fan OK. This gave me access to the belt tensioner and its LH threaded nut came of easily. I can now...

Hi Griff, not quite sure how you got a 19mm forked ball joint seperator into the bottom ball joint? You need at least 24mm opening

Yes, I have been hitting the steering knuckle right at the ball joint taper. The knuckle has to move downwards off the ball joint tapers once they are freed, so hitting the knuckle arm downwards as well is correct?
