So the brushes are under the silver cover with 3 bolts? I was wondering what's there. Sorry for my ignorance - I would really love to know more about car mechanics and electronics but there is still a long way ahead of me... :) I checked the wires which are outside, the voltage is there...

I checked the earths, they all are ok. I took off the heat cover and got a better look at the alternator. I noticed that the one white wire which was hanging is coming out of the D+ slot so I figured this is where the yellow-brown wire should be connected. I connected it as in the picture...

Thanks a lot. I'm leaving for a couple of days now but once I'm back I'll figure out what the problem is and let you all know here. Cheers!

Ok, thanks for all the answers! Let me summarize it to make sure that I got it. With the warning light wire (brown-yellow) connected to the alternator, the alternator would get "excited" right after starting the engine. When the wire is disconnected, however, the light never comes on and I need...

That's what I thought too BUT I have a video of a cold start of my Disco from December where the light did not come on at all but the alternator was charging (I could tell my the voltage which was over 14V). This probably means that someone changed something in the original wiring? Proof...

Thanks! I will connect the yellow-brown wire and see if the light comes on. But that won't solve my charging problem, right? Is there anything else I can check before taking the alternator out and disassembling it?

Hi guys, My alternator recently started to behave in a weird way. The voltage went from about 14V to around 12V and after some time (a few minutes) went back to below 14V. There was no pattern here, just random switching from charching to not charging. Eventually it stopped charging at all. I...

Hi everyone, I have recently sold my Toyota Land Cruiser which I've owned for 4 years and bought a car which I always wanted to have - Discovery 200TDI from 1992. It has its flaws which I'm trying to eliminate but it looks and drives great! I will post here a bit looking for some advice on...
