    Oiy - that's a sad sight

    If you can't get your alternator repaired, then I have a dim recollection from somewhere in my brain that the equivalent BMW alternator is identical to the RR one and half the price.... so it might be worth chasing one of them instead of a LR alternator.

    Hope it's back on the road soon.

    Just got the phone call, s/h alternator from a wreck put in at TRS and ready to go. They don't have new or reco ones in stock as they apparently never get asked for them?

    I called around a few places locally and got the same story about getting one from interstate on Monday. Dave, I briefly thought about the BMW side of things, maybe I should have made a few extra phone calls!

    So far my luck with s/h alternators has been great, my P38 altenator was from a wreck and still going strong 130k's later, I didn't bother asking for my old one back to rebuild for a spare as I haven't had luck getting one with a badly seized bearing done as its usually fried a few windings somewhere.

    Whilst not that cheap, in the big picture it was a good price and I have to give it to TRS for the service and speed.

    My car had a new starter motor at 160k, and now an alternator at 205k, so I guess that's potential things to put on your list of stuff to look for.

    Cool

    Good to hear it wasn't an expensive exercise JSP.

    I nearly had to flatbed mine as it had a serious loss in power. She was flat out doing 100 on the highway! All fixed now thanks to a new inline fuel pump and filter... 750 bucks later.. Not a bad outcome:-)

    Has been the first issue since I bought it a year ago. 120,000k's on it now.

    This one looks cheap, $24900:

    I like them in white, I don't like the full charcoal interior and lack of parking sensors or rain sensing wipers.

    Cheapest one I have seen advertised. Must admit I didn't like the white ones but they have really grown on me since I got my black one.

    Out of curiosity why do so many people put rain sensors as a high priority?

    Looks neat. I hate white cars but then my P38 was white grew to like it. Bloody good price if it all checks out .Half the price of mine. Not sure if it had a towbar tho. Very well detailed. Someone on here should have a good look at it bargain.

    From the look of one of the photos, it appears not to have a sunroof. I have never seen an L322 without one before, other than the G4 Challenge vehicles, I think. I would be closely checking if this is an import or Australian delivered. There are a few RHD KM/H cars of all sorts coming as personal imports from post boom Ireland lately.

    why do so many people put rain sensors as a high priority?
    Rain sensing wipers are really useful when driving on the highway during mist or light rain, adjusting the wipers is one less thing to worry about. Having said that I probably wouldn't pay extra for them unless I lived in a rainy place.
