Me; I need a Land Rover alternator please (just to break the ice)
Man in brown smock; Have you got the reg ?
Me; yes but it'll give me one for a 2.5n/a and mine a 200tdi
Man in brown smock; Give it me anyway and we'll see
Me; no point it'll give me the wrong one
Man in brown smock; but I need a reg to get into computer
Me; use yours then
Man in brown smock; no point it'll be the wrong one
Me; well it's a discovery one engine from a 1992 Discovery 200tdi
Man in brown smock; have you got the reg ?
Me; It'll be on your shelf labelled in the land rover section won't it
Man in brown smock; doesn't work like that
Me; I'll get a reg from an old discovery and come back
Man in brown smock; need to know what amp it is as well
Me; have you got the number for the Samaritans ?
Man in brown smock; they'll need a reg no

Thanks, I have a 100 amp hour battery so would a 100 amp alternator do ? I have one on an RV8 in the shed
And I found the reg of the donor Disco so try that

Im sure a 100amp will fit and work but I reckon you will have belt issues as the v belt is pretty carp on the std defender/disco set up and asking it to potentially make 100amp might push the belt to its limits, but to be fair thats only going to happen if you do lot of winching and other high battery drain stuff.
