Hi and Help,
I have a love hate relationship with my Landrover Disco. I feel that if I can't get my alternator problem fixed, my Landrover could eventually kill me.
I have gone through 6 alternators in the 2 years that I have owned my 1997 Discovery Landrover.
My fiancé lives in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I am making the 125 mile trek through the middle of nowhere to see him in ski country USA, every other weekend. I love my disco as it plows through snow like nothing I have ever driven. The problem is, it can die at any minute. I have broken down in remote areas along this trip that could be life threatening in adverse weather.
What happens is the speedometer and the tachometer start going haywire, the car looses power and eventually dies. My mechanic has put in Bosch and Mireli(sp?) alternators. He recently replaced the ground wire to the alternator, thinking this might solve the problem. Two days ago, I was stranded again with a $500 towing bill to boot. I am hoping that you may have an answer to this dilemma.
Help!
