Alternator and boot lock :(

Hi Gents

Well this weekend has been a joy

The boot lock has begun to play up and now the car sounds like someone has chucked a load of nail in the engine

The boot I'm sure is the actuator as when you press the button you can hear it trying to unlock so no pt a wiring issue as others have experienced
£44 from land rover

The nail sound I'm also sure it's the alternator not had a chance to look but this yet but the noise is coming from the front left of the engine bay.
£501.22 from landrober that was a genuine typo error but well placed sorry i meant

I've seen Flacks helpfull guide to replace the bearings but I'm not sure what make alternator I have, also where to get the. Earrings from

I also believe I need a tool to remove the fan and the pulley

Any help on the inof would be much appreciated

Regards Chris

Thanks for the reply

Just had a look under tn bonet and I can see metal shiny metal shavings and two ball bearings sat on the sub frame my guess is they should not be there, the belt is also sat on the edge of the belt tensioner so I'm hoping it just that and not the alternator.

Off to do some work now I'll investigate later

Fingers crossed its not the alternator

Sounds more likely to be your auxiliary belt tensioner to me, if the belt is sat on the edge of the tensioner:

They fail frequently and are a simple job to replace. Thumbs Up

Also, I'm not sure Flack would advocate fitting earrings to your alternator. Rolling Eyes

A slight typo error sorry Embarassed

I fancied a bit of cross dressing Smile the secrets out

I'm all sorted didn't need alternator turned out to be the belt tensioner as I thought on close inspection

Thanks for everyone's input

Boot actuator also replaced all running/working as it should again Thumbs Up

Regards to all
