Why did you need to change the terminal and hold down? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

TX, How have you been sir? I wasn't sure if you still had your LR2. I did get stranded in Dallas a few weeks back on a layover. My flight from Nashville was late and I missed the connection. The airline did find another plane for me but they sent me to San Francisco instead of San Jose. (about 60 miles out of the way) Back to the topic. Costco had the best price and Interstate seems to make a good battery. I replace my LR2 batter every 4 years and the warranty is 3 years. I do wonder now that I unplugged and bypassed the Sirius Satellite if my LR2 battery will last longer than 4 years. (I think the module was occasionally draining my battery) Other than the battery how is you LR2 doing? Take care Paul |

The Landy is still trucking along, thanks for asking I've got a fairly long (650 miles each way) road trip coming up and since the battery was 5 years old I thought I'd see if it need to be replaced. It started the car OK every time but I bought a simple battery/starter/alternator tester and it said the battery only had 36% capacity left even after fully charging it. It was also not charging beyond about 13.2 volts so I may have an alternator issue but it's hard to tell with the adaptive charging setup on these cars. It seems to be charging better now with the new battery but at a lower voltage than I would have expected. Do you know what your charging voltage is? |

Thanks Paul. Looks like my alternator is not putting out full charge. Any suggestions for a good replacement brand? |

The BOSCH remanufactured unit on my S80 3.2 works really well.

Thanks Paul. I ordered the Bosch 180A unit. When you changed the unit on your Volvo, did the Bosch alternator come with the pulley? The Image from Rock Auto shows it fitted. |

I've had the intake off before so no problem there and the alternator is easy if you know the trick with the roll pins. I haven't done the thermostat yet so considering doing that while I have the manifold off. Where did you buy your manifold gaskets from? |

For the intake manifold gaskets I use

That's just what I needed. For the roll pins I used the same technique as the video except I found a drill bit that worked just fine.
