it depends where you buy, alternators are a big problem with pajero;s and shoguns, i know people who are on there 10th alternator, brought through a relatively well known jap supplier, probably more down to poor original design or positioning of the unit.

I had to replace twin batteries on mine just after xmas which wasn't  pleasant, :twisted: and they have only been on a couple of years :roll:

I think if you buy from OME source then you shouldn't go far wrong, its very easy to buy very cheap service parts and moan when it all fails, hence giving the perception that its the motor at fault.

I am not taking LR or Jap Sides here just speaking from experience ;)

But to be honest what ever marque you have this sort of weather kills batteries pronto   

I agree. But when my cherokees battery dropped a cell it still started, only just but it did start.

TBH i've got better things to be doing than messing about with my discovery in every bit of spare time I have. I was going to put a lift kit etc on  it, trouble is it's cost so much in parts and time for existing problems, i haven't had anything left.

My jeep was older had more miles and had a hard life before I got it, even so it caused me very little trouble, unlike my current discovery. Sorry to slate LRs but they're pants.


HOORAY!!!!!! im glad someone agrees with me....Ive been driving since I was 17 im now 45 and ive had loads of cars none of them new ones but ive had 2 landrovers in that time and MY GOD what do they build them out of?ive never had cars SO unreliable in my life,if you look through the forums on the landy sections its full of people with problems with their landrovers,if you go on the mitsi or jeep sections it just mostly people talking about general stuff thats nowt to do with their car problems,ill never touch another landy again.....and why is it defenders hold there money so well?I cant understand this!!!!£6-7k for summat thats 12 years old and done 100000 miles ??????whats all that about...I can hear the stampede now of landy owners that are gonna tell me im wrong............

my comp 90 been struggling to start lately
and thats with twin optima's powering it into life
it was a poor negative from chassis to engine
a new earth strap and a clean of the main negative has seen it firing up instant again
worth a try

muddyjames:
I guess putting a jump lead from engine block to battery will find this out?

BK:
