Alternator woes!

Post by conmai » Sat Oct 11, 2014 4:27 pm

Hi all,

Front bearing unit totally shot on the alternator, tempted to strip and refurb however time is of the essence, I found this on eBay and seemed good

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311049480385

Was wondering if anyone has used these before? My current alternator (excuse the pun) is an 80a unit this one is 90a which is probably not a bad thing, the other thing I noticed is that from the one in the link is only a two pin connection where as the one I have at the moment is 3 pin... Although I can't see this being an issue as I'm assuming the connection plug at the end of this will be the same?

Both belts look good but would the recommendation be to also replace these?

Comments appreciated!

Regards,

Not had to use them for the bongo but those guys supplied alternator and starter motor for my boat and I couldn't fault them. First class product and service.

I had mine from the startermotor guys, really good and still going strong, it said it was refurbished but to me it looked brand spanking new.
