Hello to all!

Hello everyone.

I live in Pembrokeshire, West Wales and I've got a 2002 Freelander Mk1 K-series.
Its a vehicle that's been sitting unused for ages but time has come that I'd like to have a play and get things up and running!
The vehicle was running fine, when I used it last 3 months ago, but I've gone to start it up today, started fine, but it seems the alternator belt has snapped and is now laying under the vehicle! Having a feel around it would seem the alternator does not turn, seized, so I'm guessing that's the reason its snapped.
I can post this somewhere else if I need to but your advice on whether I need to replace the alternator, or if there seems any other fix would be appreciated.

Many thanks

It does sound like the alt is kaput ( and the belt !) - new bearings in the alt might sort it in the short term, but might be more trouble than it is worth

Thanks for that.Thought as much, didn't think there'd be any other reason than knackered alternator as to why it wouldn't turn!

And piccies ! put some piccies up - we likes piccies

You'll probably get more answers posting in the freelander section - where the folk who have them "hang out", as it were......

Welcome. Pembrokeshire is fantastic place to live. Go to North Pembrokeshire a lot near Newport.
