Well when shite happens it happens! No failure sign when I turned it off the night before Glad I was in the motel and not up some Kiwi hobbit hole miles from anywhere.
First time ever had to have a vehicle on a flatbed.!The sparky could only find a listing in the NZ suppliers catalogue for a 180 amp alternator ,said it suited all WK models ..So 180 amp will have to do at present not the 220. Will keep the old alternator and get the new rectifier I have fitted. Geez ,too many electronics in these vehicles,might have to go and find a good XJ like I owned years ago.! Both the ones I had did over 340000 ks with near zilch problems!
