It is just a bad alternator.

Mike I just noticed this. On any other vehicle that would be true... but not on a Disco 1! Believe it or not, for the first 3 or 4 months of owning my D1 I drove around with the belt routed wrong. Even took it to the dealer because it acted funny and wanted a new belt. They took the belt off, brought it in to the service writer to show him the belt did not need to be replaced, then put it back onto my truck the same way it was originally routed. I figured it out when I got sick of it squeling, and the tach not working when cold, so I bought a new belt and when I went to put the new one on, that is when I had discovered the routing problem. I have read about this a ton on the internet and apparently they are like the only vehicles that this can happen to, serpentine routed incorrectly, and the vehicle still runs! Get that...only our Rovers!
