Could be old news, but here's my story:
Finally gave up on the '93 rangie's alternator. Voltage output was fluctuating greatly with all symptoms of bad alt. I decided to stick-it to Sir Lucas and convert to something more plentiful and less expensive. I didn't want to have to mod any of the mounting brackets, or create my own. Long story short, after a lot of research, the CS130 type alternator from a 97 Saturn SW1 fits the range rover with no bracket modifications necessary. The only adjustment that needs to be made is the front alternator housing needs to be rotated 90 degrees in respect to the rear housing. The wiring is straight forward - a pigtail will need to be sourced with all 4 wires (some have 3, some have 2) and spliced into the rangie's loom. I sourced a 4-groove pulley to be compatible with the '93's serp-belt and was done with the conversion in less than 30 min. :thumb:
I'll post some photos and more info tonight.
