My alternator went on my 2005 TD4....bought a reconned one (£184) and fitted it last nite......ran the car for 10mins at idle, no problems. The battery voltage was upto 14V and it was charging the battery OK.
Come this morning, i started her up, OK initially, sat at idle whilst I tried to recode the radio...looked down at the instrument panel and the charge fail light was back on.....battery volts were down to 11.5 and no charging current to the battery.
I am hoping it is just a duff recon alternator......but what else could it be?

New discs
in Freelander Forum
Posted
When we bought our freelander about 2 years ago, the disks had about1-2mm of wear in them. I was advised they needed replacing so, I bought so pattern disks and new pads and they were changed at a service. The original pads still had a few mm of wear left. The car had done about 30 000mls at that point.
Now the mileage is upto 46000 and you can now feel some disk wobble when you put your foot lightly on the pedal. Braking is still OK and there is plenty of pad wear left. There is minimal wear on the disk also.
Would this mean my disks have warped a bit?
