I've fitted a new alternator (was almost a year ago now)
It has the usual terminals on the back and one for a rev counter.
I'm thinking of using a relay to split-charge to a second battery (for
lighting and other gubbins).

I bought an older 110 a couple of years ago with 2.5n/a engine, and
LT77 gearbox. The vehicle only has 80,000 kms on it and runs very
well. Looks like the injector pump has been replaced. I replaced the
timing belt recently. THe gearbox shifts well, not really bad noises

I've recently had a 2nd hand engine fitted to my 110.  It has 34k
miles, but is an old V8 - 1975.  It wouldn't start on the carbs it had
fitted so my mechanic swapped them for my carbs, off my 1984 V8 and it
started straight away.

A time ago I asked for advice becaues my wifes Defender 90 2.5TD hat

Just a quick Q...  (or two)
I'm just running some gear ratios thought excell for my 2A and I'm using
early 90/110 gearing as an example to check mine against. Did the 2 1/4
