    Battery is one day old, havnt driven the car. Doors won't open, so manually opened the car and have disconnect the battery.

    No idea what the issue is now, all I know is the battery signal didn't disappear.

    Will having the battery disconnected cause any issues? Other than trip and clock.

    ill order a new alternator replace that and see how we go.

    They did say mine was the last one in stock. So when they restocked the price must have increased.

    If you can wait they are on Ebay for the same price shipped from the UK.

    Land Rover Discovery 3 OR Range Rover Sport 2 7 TDV6 Alternator | eBay

    I was quoted $900 - $1000 to replace originally and the parts people I spoke to wanted $700 just for the alternator.

    At least you have a red light ! I had nothing as posted in the link below, to continue on that experience all seems well now the battery is performing well and holding charge.

    As I said in the link I had my alternator replaced in Brisbane for $700 fitted, don't have the paperwork here but I think it came from Karcraft.

    Well my understanding, if the battery light is flashing then it is a charge issue, yet if it is just on then it is battery issue. I found out the hard way that si not in fact the truth. If that red light goes on in any way what so ever replace battery and alternator...

    You got a good price, the alternator itself is 600 delivered so they did the install for 100 bucks, looks like they did the whole job in under an hour which is good.

    My install is a sat morning job.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Alternator installed. Took about an hour, pretty trouble free job to be honest. Main pain is the fan, but easy enough to get it worked out.

    Also did the GOE rods while I was at it, got them around the wrong way in the front it looks like..
