I changed it because, it started to sound like a supercharger and got so hot you couldnt even touch it. It was still charging tho. Spoke to a guy who rebuilds them and he says it sounds like the main winding is screwed and it cant be rebuilt... However, since it was still charging i swapped it...

Hmmm, as in direct replacement yes it is. It bolted straight up. Im guessing I must have a fualt alternator......balls.

Whats the exciter wire? THe alternator has two wires, the battery one and a thin one which I tohught was the warning light.

Haven't compared pulley sizes yet, didnt think about that. WIll have a look.

Yeah, somethings not right. I mean it works and charges and starts it fine. Just checked, the alternator I removd is an A127/65. The alternator that iv been supplied with is an A133/80. Would that make a huge difference?

Just checked the voltage across the battery, its sitting at 11.7V. Guessing thats a bit low as im told its meant to be 13.5 to 14 or something. Hmmmm.

My alternator finally gave up the goose the other day, so just fitted a new one. Started it all up and it seems to work, can turn on all the lights etc etc, start and stop it as much as I want. However, the volt gauge is now only reading just above red on the low side. It used to sit at just...

Mmmmmmm, LS motor would be immense.

But for a Defender its a good laugh.:D

Theres quite a few suspension kits for em, helped my mate fit a 3" lift kit to his.

Yep, seems people need to learn how to use their toys.

Looks similar tbh. I doubt it would be hard to make one though from a normal carrier. Looks ace.

I do like those ones with the hi lift mount. Really neat. That a Scorpion one?

Welcome. Thats a stunning motor. Bet your chuffed.

It can be mounted on the back door as standard but you'd prob have to buy at wheel mount for it, however it will probably **** your back door eventually. Im planning on a carrier for mine as I think its the best solution, not fitted one yet so cant advise but im sure someone here will. Id of...

Fook, if id that engine id defo be keeping it!!! Listen to your heart not your head.;)

Iv been told the 200 timing belt is a lot harder to do than a 300? 300 sounds nicer and less tractor like.

Whoops......

Iv always been told to run it on 20/50.

As far as I know, you just gotta cut the diff pan off and weld on a flange so that you can then bolt the kam pan to it. Really prefer the idea of electrics to air lines. Less likely to go wrong tbh. Would love one for mine, would go with Kam if I could.
