mad_pete Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Broke my alternator and split an oil cooler pipe. It’s a v belt alternator. Is that straight forward to order replacement or did Land Rover produce loads of variants ? Also need oil cooler pipes. I have Rover 4.2 to Defender in rad cooler. Can I get pipes off the shelf or do I need them made ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Naturally Land Rover used many variants of alternator. This probably the animal you are looking for. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DISCOVERY-I-3-5-V8-ALTERNATOR-BRAND-NEW-12V-75A-A127-1989-1994/183392780394?hash=item2ab30fc06a:g:fU0AAOSwYGBZkwXQ:rk:14:pf:0 As for oil cooler pipes, they are available off the Expensive shelf, I have a 4.2 in mine as well and have used these pipes https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/89301/0/oil_cooler_pipe_upper_v8_defender or https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/449317/0/oil_cooler_pipe_upper_v8_defender https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/89302/0/oil_cooler_pipe_lower_v8_defender___discovery_1 or https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/449318/0/oil_cooler_pipe_lower_v8_defender___discovery_1 Alternatively, if you have a branch of PIRTEK close to you, they will be able to make one for you, probably for a fraction of the prices displayed Edited January 23, 2019 by neil110 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 The alternator did come back on after a few hits with a hammer, maybe clean it out and new brushes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Maybe, there are some good videos on the tube of you about how to replace brushes, slip rings and the like. Posted by a company which sells such items on fleablag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
