alternator rating
Range Rover Blues:
Uprating the wiring is relatively easy, wire the winch to the alternator :wink:
Seriously though, it's only the wiring that will carry more than was originally intended, so the alternator to battery wire and that's where the winch will connect.
80 amp, onlyu problem is finding one, I tried looking for a spare to no avail.
The problem I forese is the Vee belt, mine can eat a new belt in an afternoon with just the fans cutting in all the time (laning in the peaks) so I use a 13mm wide belt rather than the 10mm belt it should have. I suspect that a 100amp alternator would only make matters worse, so I toyed with the idea of fitting the 100 amp unit from a '93 SE as it has a multi vee belt from the crank pulley, over a giude on the PAS pulley then direct to the alternator.
However I think now I'll be going for a serpentine front end on the 4.6 this summer when it goes in.

the other idea iam toying with is on the front crank pulley on the V8, there is a small v which the alternator and water pump currently use, and there a much bigger v , which i could use for the bigger alternator on another belt.
Range Rover Blues:
You have an SD1 engine IIRC. The RRC V8 in the EFi has no spare Vee in the pulley.

defo a RRC engine, confirmed when i bought a new water pump.
although padocks crossed the engine number to an SD1, but rimmer bros told me it was a RRC due to the engine number and water pump type.
my V8 is the one with 'pulse air' system on it, and SU's.
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
