1985 Defender 110 200 Tdi SW Auto Baltic Blue

Alternator wireing

Loosing charge in the battery but charge light not on.

Checked alternator and the small thin wire of the three has broken off.

I can’t remember where it attaches and the clip it attached too must have broken as well.

I know that there are several versions of alternator and upgrades but there must be a common place for this wire to attach too.

Need the vehicle this week so any help would be welcome.

It’s a 200tdi.

Thanks.

Does your alternator have ring terminals or a single plug on the loom?

Connection D rings a bell in my memory.

Red is the main battery leads - often two doubled up on earlier vehicles.

Green is the warning light, the thinner cable.
