A quick question. Should I check the current alternator before fitting the new one ? I'm pretty sure its dead but I guess I'll try. If its ok I'll keep the alternator as Range Rovers always have bad alt's.

Hey I just noticed your a fellow Ranger! Between 86 and 89 they changed NO styling :lol: And its a Vogue AND a 3.5 V8 EFi like mine! Gotta love Range Rovers :)

Thanks!!! :D

Thanks treeman! :) You can see the N button on the right of the pic above the radio. Why would a choke have an "N" on it ? Weird if you ask me!

Yeah, I noticed it was a car dealer thing. The reason I still had my doubts was that a year ago I lost a Ford Fiesta and while walking around with the money I got from insurance wanting to buy another car I saw a Fiesta (at a dealership). Walked up to it and thought, hey thats like mine :lol...

1986 Range Rover 3.5 V8. If I got a snorkel how capable would it be in high water and such ? I don't want to modify it AT ALL! The snorkel is as far as I go. I hate even the slightest of modifications!

First of all I will tell you guys, I will update this every time I do anything to the car! Even just a wiper blade you will know about it! Parts I need: Rear wiper motor, Air hose (slit on the bottom), Things done: Swapped Starter-Motor. Fitted battery. Cranked over with new starter and...

And does anyone know what that N button on the dash means ? I thought it was for the transmission but its a manual. Could it have been an auto originally ?

Heres a pic of the interior/gauges. Don't you just love those gauges ? :) Ahh, Thats why I love Landies! Even just looking at the gauges you know its going to be a rugged, tough mud trekker :D

I'm inspired by the Wheeler Dealers Land Rover Disco episode! :D

I also ordered a Haynes manual for the 1970-1985 Range Rover (I know, mines a 1986 but I guess the alternator and everything else like that is still the same logic) from the library.

@Irishrover - I sure will! :lol: Alternator tomorrow! @1992lse - I'll go and get it later :). Might even get my torch out and try a nighttime fire up for the first time!

1997 Land Rover Defender 2.5 TDi HARDTOP on eBay (end time 19-Mar-10 15:52:20 GMT) I know it has a P reg but they all look the same so it would be easy to "change" the year.

Are those rims common for the 200TDi's ? Cos theres one on ebay. IDENTICLE to yours, only with no bull bar or anything. Same red though, and same wheels! Plus it has the plastic wheel arch covers.

Any updates ? I'm truely sorry to hear about the Landy. I will keep a look out on ebay for any parts (or the whole car) being sold that might be yours!

Yeah. Will the used battery be ok though??

If its ok I'll get it right now and see if that beast runs! I got the starter fitted.

Theres one in the paper (used, 1 year old) for £15. I don't know if its wise to buy a used battery though... ?

Heres a pic of the mighty 3.5!

Nope, the cheapest place is halfords. I find their items very good but expencive! And yes I mean High Range, sorry :lol:
