new alternator

[bob]

my alternator went on my chipper and after pricing round local ended up buying a brand new one of the dreaded EBAY for £60 less than buying local that included delivery and they can post it faster than local suppliers can get one and its come from an alternator shop with guarantee as well

You just gotta look in the right place.

 

Locally a double pulley water pump for my county was 120+vat +3 days. ebuy, £55 delivered with gaskets as well.

It is worth looking round, especially for electricals. It's hard to find bits to repair them sometimes, because a lot of dealers simply tell you they're non serviceable, and you need a new one. that happened to the starter motor on my landrover. All the local parts places wanted £100+ for a new one, but a friend told me of a backyard auto electrician, who repaired it for £30.

i got my chipper off ebay, turned out to be a good buy.

Alternaters are repairable but often times the repair parts add up to more than a rebuilt unit sells for .

 

A majority of the equipment made on this side of the pond use Delco electricals .They easily adapt to most applications and the regulater is built into tne unit itself .

 

For repairs you have 3 choices,buy new,costly .Buy from an auto junk yard ,iffy .The cheapest in the long run is remanufactured from a discount auto parts dealer which has a quarentee.
