Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3840 dynamo used for?
The RTC3840 dynamo is the DC generator that charges the battery and powers the electrics on early Land Rover Series models. It's the Lucas C40 type. On these vehicles the dynamo is belt-driven off the engine and works with a separate control box to regulate charging.
Which Land Rovers does this dynamo fit?
This dynamo typically fits Land Rover Series 2, 2A and Series 3 with the 2.25 litre petrol and diesel engines. Fitment on these early models can vary with the exact charging setup, so check your existing unit's type before ordering, especially if a previous owner has changed the electrics.
What's the difference between a dynamo and an alternator setup?
A dynamo is the original DC generator on early Series Land Rovers and needs a separate control box to regulate output, while later vehicles use an alternator. If your Series still runs the original dynamo system, this is the correct replacement. Many owners keep the dynamo for originality on Series 2 and 3.
