i guess you could use military type ones. I usually have the nato hitch on the back of my 300tdi 90, i use it for offroad recovery, but my civvy electrics are lifted up onto the rear pannel near the fog light. I have a metal socket thats sprung so keeps the crap out

most 300tdi defender were fitted with the 65 amp alternator. Fitting the 100amp one is almost a straight swap you just have to upgrade the wiring to the starter from the alternator

i mounted my single inward facing rear seat using 25x6 mm stainless flat bar under neath. That spreads the load and stops the nuts being pulled through the single lap belt is also bolted through this.

i used 6mm ply, covered with acoustic carpet, insulated the panels with camping roll matts held on with polyurethane sealant, drilled a hole for the seatbelt top mount and stuck a couple of pieces of timber on to the panels so i could screw the ply tight against, i also have 2 speakers each side...

If you get the length of cable and sizw of hole for the ring terminals you can call one of the companies and they will solder the ends or crimp and heatshrink them for you

well each to there own, but how long are they saying is life time ?? whats the small print ? Why not just buy a shipart one even cheaper ???

dont waste your time with cheap alternators, they usually just last past the 12months gaurantee. Buy a Denso one, bit dearer but well worth it, i paid around £160 a couple of months ago for one and it came with a new pulley aswell. Denso is OE heres one AMR4247G ALTERNATOR...

the only sure way to check is with a volt meter your wanting no less than 13.6 volts and no more than 14.4 volts. put all the goodies on and increase the revs if you dont achieve this then replace 100 amp upgrade is good i recently did this as i was having trouble running everything, and...

First mistake... Always replace the slave and master as a pair and dont use **** part.. Hows the clutch hose ?? when was it replaced ??? is it ballooning when hot ?? If the fluid was evaporating you would also get moisture in in when it cools. Water doesn't compress so you would have a...

i got a good cat1 alarm and immobilizer fitted to mine about 5 years ago( the one the auto spark recommended) Its a noisey bugger and cuts of the feeds to the fuel solenoid and the the starter for the immobilizer part. Yeah we all know there easy to hot wire , but you have to get to my alarm...

the smaller belt going to the right of the engine(looking at it from the front0 is the power steering, the other one goes around the fan and alternator

i bought adjustable bucket seats for my 90 last year, they came with rails so all i did was weld 2 lugs with holes on to 25mm x 25mm box section. Marked the holes and drilled through the seat box. i welded M8 bolts on to a bit of 50 x 50 x 6 mm plate and put them through the holes, tightend them...

two batteries are still very healthy, both numax ones. what a difference driving the landy now, even the dash lights are brighter

thick wire goes to B+ , thin wire goes to D+ , white wire goes to W Some of the 300tdi need the feed to turn out the charging light as the bulb make up part of the circuit.... I know the wirining is correct as i have just fitted a 100 amp alternator in place of the 65 amp one on my 98...

just a quick update, i unplugged the split charge to isolate the second battery and the voltage increased by 1.3 volts. better but still not good enough. So tonight i fitted a brand new 100 amp denso alternator, what a difference. with the heater on full, head lights on , rear screen heater...

i am going to disconnect the second battery and run it for a few days to see if theres any difference. If not maybe my alternator doesn't like all the muddy water and rivers it has been submerged in :) But i have to get 13.6-14.4v @ 3000 rpm according to the workshop manual

The earth cables were replaced in the summer with marine tinned cable, added a few extra, Cant fit a cut of switch as i have a cat 1 alarm and immobilizer fitted and if its not armed and working my insurance is invalid. I have even tried a jump lead between the engine and the earth on the...

all the connections are clean and tight, It is the heavy duty numax batteries i have. An auto spark told me that i need at least 13.6 volts with it under load to make sure the batteries are charging, i Have tried the trickle charger. Unfortunately my landy can lie for a few days un used and...

OK my 98 300 tdi 90 has a charging issue. I fitted a denso 65 amp alternator about 2 years ago, It is still putting out about 14v on tick over, but once i start putting the lights ,heater etc on the voltage is dropping to 13.5 volts even with slight rev to the engine, which i know is a bit low...

There all good, the 300 TDI doesn't have any ecu's so dont mind getting soaked etc and simpler to maintain, saying that the TD5 engines have plenty of grunt and are very reliable, The puma is suppose to be lovely to drive smooth engine with plenty of torque. The main thing to buying a Landy is...
