Engine Number to Voltage

[Lionelgee]

I'll guess you had a few beers by now........ hey it could of been worse, he could of thrown the alternator back at you and told you not to come back LOL

If you do get a second hand alternator get one with an internal regulator. Wiring up the engine on 12 volt is not going to be that difficult but it will take some time.

You need to ask yourself is it worth the time and expense...........what is a running series III worth to buy?

Have you checked the chassis and firewall for rust?, is the engine seized?

Cheers Rodney

Hello Rodney,

The late previous owner was a mechanic and the chassis had been fully restored, the firewall is perfect and according to the owner's son the engine had been rebuilt just prior to semi-installation. It needs the seat box modified so that four wheel drive can be selected. At the moment the 4WD gear stick is inside the seat box! Then the clutch and brakes need to be connected and the wiring sorted out so everything works at the turn of the key.

Series 3 Land Rovers are beginning to range in value to reasonable to very optimistic. Road registered examples start around $2500 and go up to $8000. I think the $8000 are people being very optimistic for how much they can sell their vehicle for on eBay. I pretty much have the gear to do all the work on the vehicle myself to get it up to being registered. I have lots of Land Rover parts as well. Just shy on the Nissan parts electrical and air cleaner wise.

At the moment I have only spent $500 to buy the vehicle.

Kind Regards
Lionel
