what could this be. battery charge light stays on after rover is turned off. while driving seems that fuel pump is starving engine for fuel. where should i start to look. any ideas. its a 92 county |

Diode in alternator has gone bad, cause current to flow in the wrong direction, and also fouling up the voltage sensative EFI system. |

altenator was just replaced 100km ago. any other ideas, fuses, relays ? if it is diode why would it not last. could this be caused from slipping belt? |

Electrical engineering is not my thing, so I don't know what makes a diode fail. Based on posts which I have read over the last five years...you have a bad alternator.
One thing that is interesting: My 92RR has 126,000 miles on it and have never had a moments trouble from the alternator. But mine is not a Lucas, it is a Maranelli(or something like that.
