Ive been searching high and low for a alternator that would fit in the stock location, work with Vbelt, have a idiot light sender and a "W" or tach output.
After seeing that bripart makes a 100amp upgrade for this and the disco 200tdi I was deadset on finding out where they sourced this alternator from to save on shipping and retail.
LOOOONG story short you can use a 1993-1995 Range Rover 4.2 aka vogue alternator, with very minor modification.
Bingo 100AMPS!!!!!!
Materials Required:
Alternator: LR# YLE10100, Remy 14362, Marelli 54022470 or equivalent
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTJM9TG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Five feet of 4 gauge stranded primary wire
two 4 gauge heavy duty ring terminals/lugs
one 12awg-14 ring terminal
One washer about 8mm ID (whatever you have laying around)
Your old alternator
Some heatshrink or electrical tape
Materials possibly required:
New slightly longer V belt (depending on alt pulley diameter)
I used a Gates #7405 10mmx1044mm
Tools
Assorted metric sockets
Pry bar
crimper or vise
Lighter or heat gun
Voltmeter
8mm allen key
Impact gun

How To:
- Disconnect battery
- remove fan shroud if equipped
- remove intercooler pipes
- remove mounting bolts on old alt
- remove old alt
- remove nut on the starter solenoid hot side with cable going to battery
- remove engine wiring harness (mark the water, oil and IP pump connections)
- remove old shitty brown wire from harness that went from the old alt to the starter solenoid
- using old shitty wire for length estimation make a 4g power wire with HD lugs on both sides (make sure to check that they fit on studs on new alt and starter, dill out if needed)
- tape up or heatshrink the engine harness and reinstall all connections
- run new 4g cable from where new alt will be to the starter following engine harness
- Using impact gun or a wrench and allen key remove V belt pulley from old alt, remove flat spacer and set aside, remove external fan and set aside, remove the spacer closest to the alt bearing and put aside
- remove serp belt pulley with impact or wrench and allen key from new alt
- using spacers removed from old alt (depending on what you have a trip tot hardware store for washers or spacers may be needed , mine bolted right up) install the v belt pulley on the new alt
- mock up the new alt on the engine to make sure that the Vbelt pulleys are parallel to one another and the the belt wont be running on a crazy angle
- using a dab or grease or glue stick the random washer from the parts list above to the new alt bottom rear foot on the inside
- This is needed because the stock alt has a 80mm mounting spacing for the bottom feet and the new alt has 83mm so we are taking up that space (FYI the britpart kit does the same exact thing)
- Loosely bolt up the new alt
- Connect the new charge 4g battery cable to the large stud on the new alt marked B+
- cut off the stock spade on the brown with white stripe smaller wire that also ran to your old alt and replace it with the small ring terminal from the parts list
- install this smaller wire to the middle stud on the alt marked D+
- If you have a tach wire (white is stock color) connect this the last stud marked "W"; disregard if you dont have this
- reinstall all the wiring to the starter solenoid, making sure that you put the spade connection on there as well
- tighten your alt belt using the pry bar to get it snug
- reinstall fan shroud and intercooler pipes
- reconnect battery cable
- start truck
- check voltage at battery (should be more than 13.5v)
- Done
