I have a problem with a flat battery when the Disco 300tdi is left overnight....I got a friend to put a meter on the battery when it was ticking over and it was showing as 16-17 volts going in so I think the alternator is not as it should be and shorting out when the engine is stopped ....someone mentioned that it could be the regulator with a diode that was shorting...my question is ....is there a separate regulator or is it inside the alternator?I believe it is cheaper to replace a regulator but if it's inside the alternator then a new alternator would be the way to go.....Many thanks in advance for help...
