Default 2003 disco issues

68k miles. Payed $500 for it. Didnt run...replaced crank sensor and started up. 3rd disco I've owned.

Issues:
1...alt puts out 13.78 at idle.
2...3 amigos.
3...intermittent flashing m,s and drive
4...was gonna replace xyz switch but when tried to pull linkage the put broke off.
5...due to rust the t case linkage is stiff so intend to replace with parts from a 96 so I can have diff lock.

I'd like to swap over to something like a gm or Ford 1-wire 140amp alt...but not sure what would bolt on. Or if a 1-wire will still keep everything working right

Have you scanned the ecu for codes and the reason behind the m+s flashing?

Clean those terminals like a crazy person & make sure they’re tight!
