I was driving home earlier in the 1990 Disco 200TDi with my high beams on and listening to the radio, when all of a sudden the battery light comes on!
And minutes later the car starts to jump and then the lights fade, along with the engine stalling and me ending up at the side of the road miles from anywhere!
I managed to get a tow home, so the first thing I did was check if the alternator belt had slipped off, or snapped. Nope, it was still there and tight.
So then I fired the car up with a booster and put a multi-meter on the battery, and just before the car stalled, it showed the battery had 0.01 Volts in it, so the alternator is toast I suspect!
My question is, would the one in my 1993 Discovery 200TDi fit ? As I could swap it over tomorrow if it will, and save me some money!
