Thread: Went over 150K and Guess what ????????

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>So who's the best or should I say cheapest source for a replacement?[/b][/quote]

Don't know about QLD but have a look in the recommended suppliers section here or try one of our sponsors.


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Are they rebuildable, or like most Landy specialised parts only available as a new item?[/b][/quote]

I was told when mine died that the Magnetti Marelli were not rebuildable so I bought a new one.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Does anything else fit?[/b][/quote]

Not that I am aware of.

Hi Glen, when my alternator went on my 97 disco, it was far cheaper to buy a bigger non genuine alternator then to replace the original.

It also makes it cheaper down the road as most other alternators can be overhauled.

Cheers

Hi Tim,

So what did you get and how hard was it to fit up?


Any other details would be appreciated.

I'm about to do the ring around

a lot of people modify a nissan unit to fit, i do not know exact details unfortunetly.

please let us know what you come up with :wink:

also there was a user here that sells the uprated 300tdi motor and is bringing in their alternator, he had prices here somewhere if i remember correctly

Hi Glen, unfortunately I can’t help with any detail.

When the disco alternator went, I called into one of my customers, an auto electrician and just left it with him.

He seemed to know what he was doing as he had been an auto elec in Britain before he came out here.

I would ring him but he was offered a good price for his business, so he sold up and I don’t have a contact number for him.

One thing though, there was a slight problem after the alt was fitted but it only related to getting the pulley lined up properly. once that was sorted, all was well.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Cheers

Any decent auto elec should be able to help, if not the guys at british 4wd always help me. Matt

Are you saying that your alternator could not handle 150 k/hr? or at 151,000klms it died?
