I checked the car last night and I don't thinkmit is the switch, lights were not pulsing with the engine switched of only when running. This makes me think that it is the alternator not putting out a consistant voltage. I didn't fit a new one at the time as it never occured to me that this would...

I will have to check when I get home in a few hours! I will give you feedback.

It seemed to do it all the way down the M40 back to London!

I'll have a look at the switch later! Could it be a duff battery?

NO, but battery was new in July and had been topped up just before he checked the alternator. It has gone flat a couple of times since new because of rf receiver, which I have now changed for the updated version. I fully charged the battery when I changed the alternator.

More pulsing than flickering! RAC chap checked alternator and all was OK there. Nick

It appears that my headlights and dash lights are flickering on my 95 4.6 HSE. Having just replaced the alternator and checked all of the connections several times I am starting to get concerned about the poor old girl! Is there anyone that would be able to diagnose the problem with her?? No...

It all seems OK now (touch wood!). UI checked the battery connections and the alternator again on Saturday and have used it 3 times since with no problems. The wife took it to work yesterday without any problems so I hope it was as simple as a loose connection! I think we are going to take it to...

I've told her to take the bus! I'll have another good look at it when I have some daylight on Saturday.

I think she was trying to park it! It started when she was queing in traffic in Putney so I said park the car off the red route. It was still registering the fault when I arrived but wasn't when the RAC arrived. I checked the connections and tightened them at the time so maybe this did the...

OK....job done last Saturday and drove the car all day Sunday and on Tuesday. Then yesterday, the wife was going to work in it when the "Alternator Fault" flashed up again as did the battery light and the dash display flashed a bit. The car stalled and I had to leave work early to rescue her...

Nothing a hammer couldn't sort out!

:D :D All done...after a bit of swearing! Wasn't too difficult. I had taken the battery out anyway and given it a full charge as the car has been sat in the street for 3 weeks! I have now reset evrything and it all seem to work! Difinately worth doing it my self for about £60 all in, Land Rover...

Anyone able to give a bit of advice? I'm going to change it in the morning.

:confused: I need to fit a new Alternator to my 1995 P38 4.6 HSE. Being somewhat of a novice to these things, please can someone help me with some instructions. I don't think it looks too difficult, but I wouldn't want to do it wrong! Thanks in advance, Nick. ps. I can get the belt on...

Thanks once again. I have ordered the alternator from rangeroverheaven and it should arrive tomorrow. Does anyone have a guide to replacing it? It doesn't look too hard but as a complete novice any help would be appreciated! Nick.

Bang in the middle of London! Luckily had a parking permit for where it decided to stop otherwise it would be in the pound now!!!!!!!! What is a good price for an Alternator generally? and what amp should it kick out....is 100 enough?

Right! Replaced belt on Friday morning with a hangover! All went fine there. Got her started and there was still smoke that appeared to be coming from the alternator. However, I had checked all the pulleys before hand and they were fine. Could this be the bearing? land rover did say it was...

Belt has arrived so I'll let you all know how I get on with fitting it! Nick

Brilliant....thanks guys. I will have a go and let you know how badly I get on! I will check all of the pulleys first! If the tensioner has seized, is this fairly easy to replace without huge garage bills? Oh....and what do you think of my earlier comment re. the dealership do a full...
