ok next round of testing fully charged spare battery = no change as above with floodlights on = no change i will ask my brother how to use a clamp meter and see what is coming out of it at idle? all the connections (2) are fine. the V ribs on the alternator look slightly taller than th eones on the crank but i dont know if its my eyes / they are now polished from the belt. i am considering increasing the belt engagement by moving the idler but i dont see why overtightining the belt wouldnt make it quieter if it was an issue (it gets exponentially louder the tighter it is)

hangon hangon its back in i just sat down to grease the idler bearing will test in a sec

ill do it in 20mins and post back be here

i just had it tested at another auto electrican out of intrest and yeah it works fine with no belt smoke at 60amps 12v (with way less belt engagement than me (my belt run is diffirent with new idler positions and stz than factory)) im stumped the alternator pulley is too hot to touch when the belt starts smoking

ribbed serp belt and yeap its correct

alignment is spot on belt has good angle of engagement (its also a serp belt, to make it slip under the tension i tested it at it must be doing something kray-zee) i ran it up with my drill in situ but now i tihnk about it i think the alternator was disconnected at the time so i will re try that tonight

Hi there, Ive had my alternator on a auto electricians test rig and it worked fine there. (this morning) when i put it on my engine and connect it to battery it screams terribly loud when running (belt), the tighter the belt the louder is screams (seems liek there is a huuuge electrical load on the alternator) the belt starts to smoke. when i disconnect it it goes silent and fine. and no smoke. it charges fine and all. the wirings pretty simple, 3 wires, one to charge light (and other side of lamp connected to +), one sense wire to battery + post , and the other big wire to the battery + post (tees into starter feed) (i changed the waterpump and idler aswell just be be sure and atleast know that they are new) what am i missing here? why did it work fine on the electrians test rig??? theres no short to earth on the feed wire i think its going to be embarassingly simple.

ive driven it up and down the road and thats about it so far / which is why i was (bi)curious

where is the tow yard? can we just drive this steez back to our pad? we in onehunga

V8pete- your a champ,cheers man

is there a catalog floating around somewhere of oil filter diemensions? i would like the chodemost filter availible for a falcon engine which currently/oem uses Ac/Delco "ac01" "Z9" What is the easiest way to go about finding something? Cheers - Your freind Dave.

make them some obscure angle and reduce idle speed to barely moving for maximum points

mr tarararowa, what is all that stuff on your face?

i diddnt mean for you to search for it/ i dont know why i diddnt but chur, simple awnser

^ i have to do this soon, how is it done? someone with a kiln and a flat plate or something?

galv probly has more chance of flaking than nothing

o/t but you can holesaw out the divider under where the carbs mount, just a little inside rangerover performance info for ya

spend the money you save on a thermostat

quater of a million dollers

so summing up, rangirovers only choke half the cylinders and they are quater of a million dollers why wouldnt you do it?
