Will 24v wolf electrics be a problem?

[owas]

Looking at quite a solid 110 wolf (albeit a little battared)
I dont know why but i love the thing and want it
How much of a problem is living with 24v electrics? Other than the overpriced alternator and starters.

Depending on which engine it's fitted with, if it's the TDI shouldn't be problem to convert to 12 volt if required, if it's the 3.0 ltrs BMW engine that maybe more expensive.

All things are possible with time and money.

If it's 24v would that make it military ?

Scratch this, seller isnt a nice person to deal with so will not be getting my money.

It was ex military and 300tdi.

might be wrong but I thought it was only ffr that were 24v

You'll find the alternators and starters comparative in cost to 12v, well I do in my job. (mechanic)

I happen to have an ex-REME guy on shift with me and he reckons all Wolf era Land Rovers were 24V, the FFR's had an extra alternator and 2 more batteries.

Fair play, I've not had much dealings with wolfs to be fair

24v isnt a bother.

tend to find 24v alternators and starters last much longer than 12v ones. but bulbs dont last as long r take being bounced around as much but not enought to make it a bother just something you notice

If one pops up again ill consider it,
Ive not had to change either in the disco (but ofcourse do have spares )

If one did stop working, are there repair services for them rather than paying £500?
