Les Henson Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Disco alternator with air con is 120amps - is that not powerful enough? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big ives Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Les the altenator on the disco 200tdi has broken securing lugs which i seen before i left home, i did not look to see what the amps where. as i am working aboard and was just getting plans in place for when i get home next week, i had seen some altenators on ebay and was going to get a new one for the disco transplant i was hoping to use either a 65amp or a 100 amp altenator as part of the project is installing a split charging system for dual batteries as i am planning to fit a Super winch EP9 Many Thanks Ives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 assuming you us ring terminals in your loom, and not a 'plug' the 300tdi Disco w/ aircon is 120A as les says, and bolts straight on. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I may well be imagining the extra 20A then ralph... will go and check... eitherway, with 100 or 120, you will need to update the standard wiring back to the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
