Morning all, The alternator created a week of epic proportions (slight exaggeration - but it felt like it at the time). Hindsight says; "if your alternator has seized and stopped your engine, take it off and get a replacement". However, I'm from 'fixing' stock, and throwing things...

I need new bearings for a Lucas LRB128 12V 24221 alternator; there's nothing wrong with the rest of the unit, and I'd rather not bin it for want of new bearings. Any ideas anyone?

That's the spot - where that switch is under the wiper stalk in the photo. Just to clarify what I'm talking about, on my 90 there is no surface mounted switch, but a tiny toggle switch up inside the hole - and although I doubt that my home counties swb has ever had twin tanks, I'm guessing that...

It was the alternator ... ! The front bearing on the alternator was shredded (lack of lubricant?), and the unit had seized - acting as a brake on the engine via the auxiliary belt. I though I heard a screech when it died - and that's what was screaming. At the time I was changing...

Thank you 'genius'.;) I'm looking for some top tips - any fool can run some wires between switches, lamps and power; and put pictures on the internet.:D I don't want to make someone else's mistakes - so would rather get some expert advice from the collective. Anyone else?

I can't be the first to ask this, but does anyone have a diagram for wiring a four spot roof bar, or advice as to how best to do it? (Defender 90 300tdi 1995 - with Mantec snorkel.)

I'll have a look at the turbo pipe - thanks Wormey. I hasn't restarted since, am going to try with a tiny squirt of Easy Start.

My engine died whilst out on the road. Battery fine – fully charged and no poor connections Starter motor turns engine, no nasty noises, all belts (including timing) appear intact Rockers seem to be moving fine Fuel in tank, no air trapped in the lines/filter Fuel pump seems to be...
