I have seen threads around on this and other forums that use the alt out of a Magna or V6 verada?? for the TDi alt replacement.

been through the Bosch catalogue with an Auto Leccy and nothing matches the mounting dimensions I've posted above.

Bushes were not as bad as we thought ,they had a few more 1000 k's left on em, so my mate John replaced the bearing inside ( whilst he had it pulled apart ) and I reinstalled original MM alt back on the car.

I'm still going to further investigate the option of placing a Generic 120A alt.

thanks of your replies

I replaced my MM with frozen bearings, with a new Lucas atlernator, I thought it looked well made, external regulator on endplate, and servicable, ...time will tell I guess. I seems every time I drive on the sand at the beach another bearing dies.

why don't you get it rebuilt and rewound I remember in the old duff duff days we use to get our alternators rewound to make up the power loss for the amount of amplifiers we ran some times up to 6
