Not exactly LandRover but it could be.

I have a diesel car that has had a battery charging issue for a while. The
battery has had trouble holding a charge for more than 3 days. It also had
an issue of the charge light staying on and the rev counter not registering
until throttle was applied, then the light would go out and the rev counter
would work OK for the duration of the engine running.

So I thought I would start by checking the voltage being supplied via the
alternator. It was a little down, so I had the alternator rebuilt with new
brushes, voltage regulator, windings ( armeture? ) and copper rings and
bearings. Cheeper than a recon unit. Charged the battery with a battery
charger, and refit to the car.

First start was OK and then the same problem occured with the light and rev
counter, also the battery started to drain again , so I bought a new
battery.

The next day the rev counter stopped working for a few seconds and then came
back to life. It did this a few times on this journey and did it the next
day. I've now not got a rev counter at all and the charge light does not
come on at all. I've measured the voltage at the battery with the engine
stopped and with it running. No increase in voltage.

I'm taking the alternator back to the chap tommorrow for testing but could
it be something else ? I would think it isn't a fuse because the problem
got worse with time over a couple of days. Could it be the wiring or
something I haven't though of ?

Thanks
