I know I have seen this, but I have been searching and cannot find the information. IIRC, the D2 alternator is 130A, and there is another land rover model alternator that will fit that kicks out more amps. Which model and year is it that will fit the D2, and give me 150A, I think I saw, rather than the 130A OEM unit?

Any downside or risks to the system for having a bigger alternator providing more amps?

 

150 amp would be off a range rover should be know problem

 

The normal "problem" with a larger alternator is the addition of more electrical things, and forgetting to wire them with individual additional fuses. Previous owners frequently skimp on this, anything mod added to a used truck that you did not do should also be checked for fuses.

 

So, late '90s thru early 2000 years range rover alternator, is that where I need to look?

 

And this is a direct bolt-in replacement? The harness plug is the same on the higher output Range Rover alt. as the DII?

I am highly considering this as a drop-in replacement. After all I am running a high amperage Red Top battery.

 

Can I ask why you feel you need a larger alternator?
You can, if you find the right alternator/starter shop rebuild and boost the 130 up into the 170 range for around $40 in parts.

 

Saw this on TV on SPIKE channel.

It was probably 30 amps more than the stock discovery alternator..

cost was the same.

Thats crazy expensive, do what mike said and find a good shop around that can rewind yours to bump its output, will cost much less than a new one and be guaranteed to fit.
