Ok, landrover has been running fine.. done many miles!
From time to time the alternator light has come on.. but wiggle the big lead at the bottom it goes out! says to me a loose or broken connector.
Last night got called out to pick up my new girly from a party and the landrover went well, but upon getting home i stupidly turned the lights from on! on convoy tail! and did not notice!
So this morning upon trying to start the batteries were near dead and not able to fire the engine! and not able to get the new lovely lady to work! oops!
RAC come out, and jumped the landy.. upon testing the battery charge seemed the alternator was not charging?? odd i though as i have used it for 2-3 weeks and its been fine?
he tested the connector coming to the alternator and it had 2 seperate 12v lives ? is this norm?
Im just not convinced i need a new one! and his way of testing the batteries was not really convincing to me! i would use a volt meter! he used some odd thing that clipped around the wire and measured something with out making contact??!
If i do need one, where is best to get one? its the 90A FFR one 24V
