Id have a damn good go as long as i can modify the gaylander first

Hmmm how can I put this with out this turning into ONE OF THOSE POSTS?

am sure it has occurred to all you landy buffs out there I am not one YET I am however hard working and willing to learn and like most persons these days turn to the comfort of my pc and the good old internet for help , advise etc. hence my post

so perhaps a no it wouldn’t trod would be more welcomed rather then the sarcasm , now lucky I can take this as I have sloppy shoulders I carnt help but wonder though how many other members have had such short visits and gone else where for the answer there after.

Just a thought, but hey ho thanks anyway, and a happy new year to you all

maybe if ya didnt ask a silly qs in the 1st place..

if ya want a 200 tdi alternator then its a 200 tdi alternator you get..

****s taking is all part of the banter on ere stick around you will get used to it

as chris tarrant says "its only easy if you know the answer" or words to that effect .

hence i didnt know the answer so asked.

i was under the assumption that parts from one landie may fit another . but thanks for letting me know they dont wiltshire ladyman

on the 200/300 tdi there are a lot of interchangeable parts..the td5 is a different kettle of fish all together

thanks for that

If you knew your stuff and were a competent engineer you could no doubt make it fit but it would probably be way to expensive a project.
You'd need to fabricate mounts, find the correct pulleys and belts, alter the wiring etc. Never say never but be realistic. Quicker and cheaper to get the correct alternator. JMHO

do you think a man with one eye should pay for a full tele-licence !

a 300 alt will fit, but you'll have to change the pulley (which is bastid tight)

Best answer so far, and exactly what I was thinking.
Nice one.

Alternatively (no pun intended) get the TD5 alt if its going begging and sell it on fleabay to fund the correct one.

a 300tdi discovery alternator will fit, apparently not a defender one though
