https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic34604-30.html I will need to look for the information but my memory says that my S80 with the Remanufactured Bosch alternator was better than my LR2 with it original. Good luck Paul |

Had my original refurbished by local auto electricians a couple of years ago, all bearings, new clutch pulley and new Bosch rectifier fitted. 24hr. turnaround and considerably cheaper. Due to the amount of work required to remove / install the alternator, I would recommend that whatever option you take to resolve use quality parts you won't want to do it twice in quick succession I do recall that when researching a replacement that I saw 2 types were available - 180 amp & I think the other was 230 amp. Were listed as depending on if vehicle had heated windscreen installed. Good advice from Paul, as always, to check with accessories all on just in case the greater output is required. Most replacements seem to exclude the clutch pulley so that will need to be factored in when you are comparing quotes you get.I would also suggest that whilst you're doing this you consider changing the thermostat, as recommended in one of Paul's postings regarding failure of these at around 10 years old.

Thanks Paul for you test procedure. I put the battery on a 24-hour refurb cycle on my Ring charger.

The clutch pulley had likely seized and has now freed itself for the time being? |

The Alternator can fail to charge based on a few different causes

Apologies for non-comms. Busy week. Everything settled down - no battery lights. I fitted a new battery as the incumbent was over 3 years old and had taken a battering during the cold (for the UK) winter.

I would confirm that the light is correct by making an independent measurement

I have 14.4 volts at the battery after starting the car. Charging at about 50 amps according to my clampmeter.
