Moving alternator / 200 Disco

Does the alternator fit above the injection pump on the drivers side without being too high?

Thanks

Being as people already fit them there and you can get kits to do it then I would say you should be fine.

I was wondering also about the belt and will it miss the water pump pulley etc
Will I need a different belt?
Best to find out theses things before making brackets up.

Is it possible to pull the alternator up higher in its original location and fit a longer belt? that would help out with the turbo pipe

Pics may help

Nice, thanks
How about the belt, not the same one but longer I suppose ?

Yes longer v-belt, cant remember size was a bit hit and miss to be honest
If doing it again I would mount alt slightly higher and nearer rocker cover to get better belt wrap on the water pump pulley.
Its a bit crude but has worked well for approx 3/4k and over 3 years
Weld for alt pivot point needs to be well done
I will see if I can find some better pics

One pic as promised, you can see what I mean about belt wrap, I reckon 2 inches higher and 2 inches nearer rocker cover and it will be almost prefect.
Only had belt come off once and that was because a small branch got up into the pulleys!

Looks promising thanks for the pics

I don't have a double pulley on crank so will maybe run it off power steering pump if the belt will miss the water pump pulley
