Thread: Td5 alternator

Most likely a brush pack and a cheap easy fix. Maybe nothing but some time if you do it yourself.

How many kms?

cheers

Hi Strangy, cars done 194000Km on origonal alternator, so can't really complain

reading the workshop manual it states that the Td5 has a Nippon Denso 120A alternator. never heard of this make, are parts commonly available for these?

My one did the same thing only at 60 000k and when at Timber Creek. The auto electrical at Kununurra did the job, was the electronic bits in it but while it was out did a standard rebuild. The biggest issue was getting it out and back in the Td5, took a lot of labour. Told me that it was the same model in the patrols and landcrusers so he had all the parts.

Interesting: I had my TD5 alternator 304k km out a few weeks ago and discovered worn out brushes and copper missing from part of the slip ring. Anyone know where the slip rings can be sourced sourced from ? Looked at a new Denso unit but was told $950+gst from one joker. Can get a brand new one from uk for $300 + p&p.

I've been through the same dilemma. Apparently you can get everything to rebuild the ND unit bar the slip ring. I ended up buying a new Britpart alternator from Paddocks in the UK, about A$200 to buy it (less vac. pump) and about A$100 freight. I'm kicking myself now, I should have got a new lower idler pulley and a few other bits and pieces that are pricey here but cheap enough over there shipped at the same time. Mine threw the towel in at about 208,000km BTW and their not too bad of a job to remove and refit but you'll need a #50 Torx bit for the main pivot bolt. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...td5+alternator
