I bought mine from Karcraft about 3 years ago, but it was exactly the same as the original, not aftermarket. Cost around $560
Wrote a thread about it at the time

Ah, sorry. Just noticed you last post saying you already bought one!

SupporterWell word of warning!
I was heading away this morning for a W/E 4wding and the dreaded red charge light came on. Checked voltage and yup Alternator is toast, could smell it too!
So that's 2 alternators each lasting 110,000 k!
If you are doing any sort of outback travel and your alternator is approx that age either get it replaced before your trip or carry a spare. Luckily I had a secondhand one at home, auto electrician fitting it now!
Luckily he was open before 7am!

Hate to say this, but mine went at 70,000 km.Originally Posted by ~Rich~
BTW, I just checked and a Denso alternator cost me $621 +Postage from Karcraft (not $560 as I said earlier), in 2013.
That's a pretty expensive spare part to have carry for bush trips. However, my fuel pump needed replacing before that ...

SupporterHmmm, about to go remote trip with 95K on the car. How much of a frequency is this alternator failure. Any reasons ? i have dual battery and 6 more in the camper so it will be charging a lot of the time. Is load a factor in how long it has before failure.

SupporterIf it helps with peace of mind, my alternator went at 212,000 kms. My experience suggests that you will easily get one days travel and maybe two out of the battery. But with six well that should get you back to somewhere.
My alt went last year on our trip about 100 kms from Karratha, going inthe opposite direction, turned back and found some LR friendly mechanics, order new alt (from Perth) at 2.30 pm. Was on the road by 12.30 next day. Was better service than I could have got at home.

Judging by comments on Landrover forums, it is a reasonably common point of failure. Reasons? Nothing obvious. My car was almost "as new" condition with 70,000km on the clock. But then my fuel pump and compressor have also failed, so maybe mine's a bit of a lemon.
You could take the view that it's bound to fail sooner or later and just take one with you.
