    100amp alternator upgrade - better charging

    Going to upgrade from the standard 45amp to 100 amp alternator as I need to change the alternator anyhow and give me options for the future plus i have a split charge system with a fair few auxiliaries. Does a 100amp alternator charge the batteries better - obviously the charging voltage will...

    Best way to sort water ingress

    Google the defender water ingress manual and that will give you ideas of where to look. Don't be tempted to seal down the floor panels with silicone or anything silly like that. Water will be coming from above and all you'll do is stop the water being able to get out

    Buying a Defender

    Totally agree. I wouldn't buy a land rover off anyone other than an enthusiast. They're the only people that put in the time and they effort. Problem is they rarely sell.

    There's no doubt there's at least a 5K premium added that's assuming everything else is perfect. I also strongly suspect that isn't a 'nut and bolt' rebuild as they claim. I would ask for photos of the rebuild. That's not to say it isn't a nice example. I know they say 1 owner but it's not...

    Buying a Defender

    https://www.ukcustomlandrovers.co.uk/cars/landrover/defender90/station/538432/ This one right? You need to get a feel for what they mean by nut and bolt rebuild? Galv chassis = good. Respray = meh. new seats and trim = meh. If that had a recently rebuilt engine, rebuilt transmission then...
