Thread: Replacement for Magnetti Marrelli Alternator??

you might be able to get another magnetti marelli alternator. a couple of years ago, they replaced my starter with a magnetti marelli, it's been great.

Sorry can't help with cheaper alternative.

Is the 300Tdi in a disco or defender?

The disco alternator produces more current than the one used in defender.

Tank. Try a Denso 100amp.-cost $475-00 inc gst jun 09 no changing pulleys bolted straight on.My vehicle 97 300tdi Deefer. regards Lochiehttp://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

there is an alternative to magnetti marelli , Rick130 posted up some pics of adaptors to fit a Bosch Alternator inplace of the MM ( supposedly higher amperage ) however looking at the adaptors it was a lot of bugerising around to get the alternator inplace of the MM one and it wasn't going to be cheaper.source a good 2nd hand one from TRS.

Barney, Bush65, I'm trying to save some money because I'm a tight arse, I was wondering if anyone had used a Ford or Holden Alt. and maybe modified the brackets, anything to save a Quid.
Yes it is in a Disco, the more I look the more expensive it gets, started out with a blocked radiator and overheating, so far, new rad. $400, new timing belt kit $290, couple of new Rad. hoses$??, now the bloody alternator, only had this diesel a couple of months and it's costing an arm and a leg, The good old 93 V8 Disco has cost me a set of plugs and leads (x2) and a vacuum diaphragm in over three years. What I'm saving in fuel costs with the diesel is going on parts, thank christ I can do the work myself, with some good advice from this Forum, Regards Frank.

I hope Mr Macman doesn't mind

V8 Disco - Bosch alternator swap

it's a Bosch Alternator out of a missingafewbits Magna



Hope that helps

Oops just realised yours is a TDI..

Did you ring Karcraft (Sydney)? a couple of weeks`ago they quoted me 2 different makes/prices, one less than $400, one abt $500.

Thanks Khos, I'll eventually get it sorted, Regards Frank.
