Alternator for Crossflow

[Cannonball Bob]

Alternator is kicking out less than 9v ☹️ so I'm after a new one.

Anyone got one going spare?

If you have no luck it might be worth getting your current one re-conditioned by a local auto-electrician. Just a thought.

Bob,

 

Get the old one repaired. Much cheaper than a new (K) one.

Done mine and Clawhammer's recently. Nice chap offering excellent service and very reasonable prices.

When you say cheap, how cheap? New Lucas ACR17s can be found for under 50 sheets.

He charged me £44 to refurb my K series one which included new bearing collar plus regulator/brush pack and test.

 

Parts for yours may well be cheaper. Worth giving him a call to see. He strikes me as someone who will give sound honest advice and not rip you off for the sake of a quick buck.

 

Is that new price an exchange? Most of Roger's work comes from refurbing exchange units from the local motor factors.

I've found a place that does outright new 'uns for £45.

Whilst part of me hates to see the old one binned if it still has life left in it, another part of me thinks for the same money I might as well get a new one and be done with it.

When the Alternator packed up in my VX, I took it to my local automotive eletrician and he sold me a refurbed BOSCH unit for £60 (a couple of months ago). He may well have been talking rubbish or trying to get my money, but when I asked him why he didn't refurb my existing one he basically said that he supplies BOSCH and the VALEO unit it replaced was inferior. I know nothing about automotive electronics but someone more informed may be able to tell you whether a certain manufacturer's parts will be better than others...

Bob,

 

Understand your point and think I'd go new too at that price.

Bob,

 

Ive got a Lucas LRA100 going spare, never been on a vehicle, so in effecet it new, fits a crossflow. No pulley though, you'd have to remove it from your old one.

 

Let me know if you're still after one.
