    Alternator Swop Defender 200tdi

    Thanks Oldseadog - So, I don't have an alternator sensed rev-counter so, W is out. That leaves me with 4 cables (3 of which are joined in a multi plug) and one more chunky cable which I think definitely goes to B+. So, with the three in the 'multi-plug', one of these will be the warning...

    Alternator Swop Defender 200tdi

    Hi, I've tried reading through previous threads but can't find the answer I am looking for; so here goes ..... Ive got a 200tdi with a Disco engine conversion (I think). The alternator packed up and I thought that, as I need to replace it, I may as well upgrade it to a 100amp one. Firstly, I...

    Who's the oldest hippo of them all?

    Come on fellas ........... your Hippo is still a mere fledgling, it's wet behind the ears, it's still not shaving and it's fresh as a daisy! My 2.0 tdi has accomplished 167000 MILES and it is still going strong! Viva La Landrover!:)

    What is a Decat Pipe ...... how do you fit one ...... and do modified ones really make a difference to a 2.0TD Freelander? You can get them from a bloke called Roverron, or off e-bay for £25 wondred if they are any good? Anyone tried one?:)

    Power loss with lights on !!!!!! ??????

    RevJames has just suggested that the battery may be on the way out - the extra demand when the lights go on is too much for the alternator ........ sounds plausible. I wonder though if the 'Battery' light would be coming on on the dash if this was the case ? Karcus

    Mines a 'T' Reg Tdi with 149000 miles on the clock and still going strong - only problem (at the moment) is that the power drops when the headlights are turned on!! Karcus

    Power loss with lights on !!!!!! ??????

    I have just had a miserable time in Port Talbot, for many reasons, but the worst has been this new, bizarre problem with my tdi Freelander ......... whenever I turn the side / head lights on there is an immediate loss of power. It is almost as if the fuel pump stops working or the engine is...

    G'day, my freelander's key fob is driving me mad !! When trying to lock or open the car with the key fob I find myself regularly stood for 30 seconds or so, getting cramp in my thumb because the damn thing will only work when it feels like it! I have replace the battery but to no avail - anyone...
