Alternator install in Land Rover LR3

A walk through of how to take out and put in a new alternator for my Land Rover LR3 2007. Basics are loosen the belt. unbolt and unplug the alternator and swap the new one in. Of note I was able to remove the serpentine belt without removing the air box or engine cover. I used a breaker bar to give me an extended reach.
If you are in there, you might as well swap the belts. Here is a link to them:

Hands down the best tutorial for replacing the alternator in the LR3. Will be referencing this later when I do mine. Thanks for the video!

Really appreciate the detail you put into this, you touched on many simple but very nice to know tidbits. Thank you!

Great video, helped me swap mine today. Only call out, removing that back wiring harness was pretty difficult, but if you turn the alt nose up, after removing the three bolts, so the harness is in front of you, it’s much easier. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for sharing your technique on the back wiring. Good thought!

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you! I wrote out the step-by-step notes and referenced them when I was working under the car. I had difficulty removing and then reconnecting the wiring harness. The top bolt wasn't easy removing. I used two breaker bars that attached to each other, they had a swivel which allowed me to remove the belt easily.

Wow! Thank you. I just did this in my driveway. Part cost $150. My hour, or so, was free.

[@FarReachFR]

Yes! Max Power!

Was pleased to find this video as the other one I found involved removing fan etc . Great instructional video very very useful 👍👍

Great tutorial. I watched several but this was the best by far.

[@FarReachFR]

Thanks Charles!

Kool video. Definitely know that its my alternator after watching this. I would give it go myself on the replacement but not too clear on the belt removal.

Great video! This helped me replace mine recently. One tip. Remove the engine air filter box bottom as well and you will be able to access the top connectors and top bolt in plain sight! Made reinstallation so much easier. I held it up from underneath and a friend bolted the top bolt in and connected the connectors from the top while I finished tightening the lower bolts!
Where do I find the replacement chip to purchase you talk about for the old alternator?

Good video

I'd even replace the bearing when I got to replace receiver/ diodes. Bearings would cost 10£€¥$ Max

What was the mileage when you changed
