--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---I thought you'd said it was SD1 at somepoint.  Anyhoo, it's a pre-EFi engine, so still different to my EFi lumps
--- End quote ---


the only thing i have ever had to buy where it would matter if it was an SD1 or RR enigne, was the water pump, and two companies told me different stories, altho i tend to belive rimmer bros as the guy discribed the engine differences over the phone. :D

so the PAS or aircon dosent run off the extra V in the pulley then?

Difflock:
Ive heard the alternator off a ford scorpio/granada will fit,now if you get one off an all singing all dancin one (fully loaded) then I think they are good for 100 amps and there are plenty of said cars in scrappys these days

P.S the poly vee belt sytems (wide belt with loads of ickle V's in) can take alot more stick than your standard single vee type,the problem ive found in the past with single vee belts is the "V" angle on the pulleys wear's down and polishes up to [!Expletive Deleted!] so your belt contact area disappears to nowt and starts the dreaded squeal and no matter how tight you get it,it will still squeal it's t*ts off

Range Rover Blues:
You're right it's the multu vee or serpentine belt as it's also kknown that you want for a 100 amps alternator.

Or if you can find one the '93 model SE had a different crank pulley with the 2 Vee belts and a multi vee also, the alternator drive ran over a guide pulley on the PAS pump to the alternator direct.

MArk, on the EFi engine, theere are normally 2 Vee on the front pulley, the back one drives the PAS which in turn drives a second belt for the alternator (cack or what?), the front pulley drives the water pump which in turn drives yet another belt for the air conn if fitted, so that's 4 belts in all :shock:

On the '93 you still have 4 belts but one is a very long multi vee.

On the fully serpentine engine you have 1 wider multu vee that does everything, quietly.  The water pump and fan run backwards though :!:
