Old alternator back in. All good, exciter/warning light wire must not have been connected despite appearing to be in plastic holder. New alternator must be duff…Grrr. Thanks for help all! Al

Yes. Having bought NOS stabiliser and then a new one (neither worked), I was recommended on another thread to purchase a modern equivalent from ebay. For the first time in years I had an accurate fuel gauge, yet the temperature was in near the...

Aren’t the two heavier brown cables connected at alternator and on same terminal on solenoid.

Charging circuit similar to this

Looks like your charge light lead is ok, think it does need that exciter voltage to get charging Can you crimp in those big connectors a bit to get a tighter fit on the spade terminals also do this on the small one to make sure . You will have...

Thin cable excites the alternator to make a change. So light should be on with ignition. Once running the charge should turn out the light. Make sure little cable goes on little connector. The 2 large lugs are joined

Yes, red light stays on when running Voltage on battery is 12.3v at moment and doesn’t change when engine revs. To be fair the battery hasn’t had a charge for many starts and a 5 mile test drive with red light on so not surprised it’s only...

I’ve seen on here this choice of supplier and they export https://www.maer.com.pl/land-rover-series-88-galvanised-chassis

Is there not a technical drawing with all the measurements in the workshop manual?

Stag88 last seen in 22, when you flushed rad did water come out as quick as going in, if so unlikely blocked have you checked the thermostat is opening in hot water

And does the red light stay on when running , have you measured voltage on battery when engine running Have you got 12v on the thin lead when it’s disconnected from alternator , red bulb should come on when you earth the thin lead

Think my earth to engine goes via the battery box as in pic, I don’t think your proposal will have as good a connection due to paint will need to be removed from radiator and front panel where connections are and also where front panel mounts to...
