This is really interesting thread, I am curios if anyone else on this site has tried this and if so if they have a little more historical information. Roverbot, have you tried to turn on all your electrical gear.....wipers, heater, defrost, etc... at idle?
Sounds like a great solution. I had a dead alt a couple of months ago and ended up buying a salvage alt off of newer model LR Disco1 for $100.00 bucks from Greenleaf auto salvage. They have warranty programs which gave me a bit of peace of mind but, this sounds like a good solution to high dollar problem.
