Check the 'small' connection on the back of the alternator.

Check the alternator fuse, then test the alternator.

I have checked all of the above....alternator obviously dead. (Thanks again), so I called two TVR garages re having a replacement fitted. The first quoted £400 +VAT...!!! The other approximately £180.Maybe its time for DIY, CleverTrevor list two types, a standard unit or a upgraded replacement.....any thoughts as to which is required?

I just replaced my dead alternator myself. Very easy to do. Only cost £100 for a brand new part.

ITVR1..... Can I ask where did you buy your replacement?

[raceboy]

I think my last Alternator was about £80-£90 on an exchange basis from a local auto-electricans.
New fan belt was about a £5 from the local auto-factors.
and it's a really simple job, even I managed it in about 30 minutes so it's really a Haynes 1 spanner job.

If it's a Serp model and your sure the alternator is duff then this is an absolute bargain http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-Range-Rover-Altern...
