Hi David well it seems that the alternator is seized anyway. I removed the plugs squirted diesel in the bores and turned it over by hand everything move nicely except for the alternator 👍 I’ve been on it all day and my op is getting a bit sore, kit away for today and a cold beer me think😋 oh I’m solo on the this project. Thank Dave

Hi David yes I’ve got it! I’ve had a bit of a shocker with it today though! I popped the two new batteries on. Just to see what electrics are working. Big mistake smoke came from somewhere near the alternator!! Luckily my car didn’t go up in flames, but now I’m stumped. Battery’s off

I’ll guess the pointer ?

Thanks very much Dave👍 That a great help. btw stunning dogs

Thanks Dave, as soon as I feel a little better I’ll take your advice 👍 tomorrow I will buy a couple of batteries for it, I’ve purchased a proper cover for it. I’m afraid it will have to stay there for a few weeks unless I can get it running and moving 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 any advice regarding a diagnostic tool? many thanks Rich

It did run about five years ago apparently no engine problems? Gearbox as problems, and he tried jump starting it! The wrong way I expect as he’s a tractor/ Land Rover man. Any tips advice or any input would be much appreciated and needed. I want to run and drive this stunning motor. kind regards the the club Richard, very excited
