  1. Nice Job ! and great pics

    One question..how did you get the pulley to drive the alternator as you must have removed most of the keyway when drilling the pulley

    One note of interest in why you only find serpentine drive type alternators with large current outputs is that to preduce more electrical energy out (ie current) you have to put more mechanical energy in (through drive belt) and the serpentine belt set up has a larger belt to pulley contact area. I have heard stories of high current v belt setups catching fire the belt got so hot

  2. The reason I bought one was I needed a vehicle where I could stand at the rear of the vehicle and use a laptop on the rear pacel shelf without opening the rear door (because a telescopic mast is bolted on the tow bar) The electric boot window of the freelander made this possible. Damn I should have bought a Honda CRV but wanted to stay loyal to the green oval !

  3. Definately the freelander has my vote for the biggest pile of Sh*t on four wheels...bought one last week for my new business and so far I've had to do rear diff mount,plugs,leads,cap,rotor arm, 2 tyres coz the rears wear funny AND ITS BROKEN DOWN BOTH TIMES I HAVE DRIVEN IT. I've only had it a week and I HATE IT !!!
