alternator rating
mark.yellow.series.3:
i was thinking of a eletric oil pump to improve the oil flow 8)
all tho it has about 30psi with hot oil, 15/40
Range Rover Blues:
Too much pressure is as bad as not enough :wink:
mark.yellow.series.3:
the oil pressure valve should open when the pressure gets to high, i think mine opens at 65psi.
but too much oil flow is a different problem
Range Rover Blues:
Yes absolutely. Too much pressure can cause cavitation amongst other things.
Too much oil is more an economy issue, unless there is so much running through the engine that none is left in the sump.

As I have a winch I uprated my 1987 65amp to 100 amp for £110

Was advised wiring may need uprating for 100a. Have you uprated or do you have any problems?

I did not uprate the wiring and so far so good, but as I am about to convert to a 300tdi, I might just upgrade the wiring while I am at it. I did have to change the pulley wheel to take the original profile of belt to it and tbh it does squeel sometimes. The only alternator that was available at short notice was for the left handside, so it has been fitted where the aircon pump once was.
