The original Alternator met its demise as I coasted into the driveway. Replaced it with a OEM Denso Alt and the car ran but a charging system fault persisted. Tried another Denso alt to the same result. Then tried a Genuine Land Rover Alt, which is made by Denso (only visible difference is a Land Rover sticker and that it costs another $600...) and it works as expected. NOTE: Alternator failure was likely due to all the MUD and DEBRIS that had made its way into the inner bits. Try to wash that crud out after a trip.

They took apart the entire dash to replace the evaporator, which was the suspected location of the AC leak. 3 weeks later they still did not have the parts they needed to effect repairs. 1700$ paid and STILL not fixed. While the LR4 was having the AC fixed I asked the dealer to do a bulletin repair on a known failure to start issue. It took them 3 attempts to get it done. The first 2 times the truck was dead. Totally dead. So glad all seems OK now.
