To give you an idea, a brand new genuine LR alternator from an outlet in the UK is $ 940, according to their advertising at the moment. Add to that freight costs, would be over a grand. BobQuote:

I purchased one from this mob for my D1. While I was waiting for it I pulled mine crook one apart and found it needed brushes. I was able to fix it so when I go bush I carry the new alternator as a spare.
Thanks man, that's pretty cheap. I've told the mechanic to just go ahead and service it, but if it does this again I'll probably just order one of those.
Engine still has that annoying sound, but will create a new thread on that.
As for the door locks, I received a new passenger front from All Four x 4 Spares, although I was messing about with the latches to test it and have locked it and can't undo it. The ordinary latch worked until I lifted one of the latches with a green bit and not that locked it for good.
Not sure if I now need to plug it into the car to unlock it remotely or whether there is some hidden catch?
Over the next couple of days I'll be doing both the back doors and the tailgate!
When plugged in the locks unlocked. Front passenger door done. Two more to replace and an adjustment on the driver side passenger. Thanks for the help. Have continued the noise issue on another thread.
