Electrical problem
2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 V8 All Wheel Drive Automatic 110k miles

Recently, I've been experiencing electrical problems with my 2003 Discovery. After having a faulty battery replaced last week, the car seemed to run as normal for 2-3 days. On the 4th day post-replacement however, it wouldn't start. It sounds like the alternator is having trouble and firing sporadic power bursts-the alternator is making a continuous clicking sound, and the electrical features (locks, interior lights etc) have been rapidly activating.
I haven't checked the alternator fuse yet, but wanted to ask for any suggestions as to where to start in diagnosing/ fixing this problem?
