Hello all,

i am trying to sort out replacing the Alternator on a Range Rover 4.4 V8 Vogue. Before i get started i would appreciate some advice on how easy a job this is. Does anyone know? Land Rover want over £700 to replace it so any help would be welcome.

Thanks.
 
any competent independent garage would give you a much better price, and probably much better service

if we knew where you were peeps ere might be able to recommend one
 
or do it yerself, its not a hard nor complicated job.
not sure how much, if any , crap you'd have to remove to get to the alt on yer RR.

for the alt on its own its most likely 3 bolts and an electrickle plug
 
I have thought about doing it myself but where is the damn thing? Is it under the block on the right? (as you look at the block from the top)?
 
take a piccy and we'll tell yer.. most alts if not all are on that side with yer PS pump on the other side.

Click to expand...

is yer dunt know what it looks like it might not be a good idea to DIY

how much did Mr Turbo quote btw ?
 
boolocks get in there and lurn? yer alt will have wires on the back, usually one small and either one or two thicker ones. get a book and just take yer time ? if yer get stuck someone here will put yer right
 
I have changed them before but just now on this bloody thing. He quoted alot less than anywhere else. £299 + VAT. for the part then his hourly labour charge.

I am going to have alook over the weekend.
 
350ish fer an alt?? just go fer the plain one and not the gold plated, diamond encrusted one
 
ring craddocks for a price - then find a local garage to fit it, at least then you'll know you've not paid cost +100% or whatever garages add to parts
