Mikey Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hi I recently had to replace the alternator on my 300 Tdi Disco (Magneti Marelli A1271). The old one had packed in and I was quoted a price of aprox £160 for a rebuilt unit. (replacement parts were not available) I did a bit of research on the internet, and found that a decent replacement was made by Unipoint, The best price I got was £85 including delivery. From Alternator Mart, a very friendly place somewhere in Lancashire. It arrive neatly packed the next day. Only slight inconvenience was that the unit was fitted with a 6 groove pully not 7 groove. Fortunately the pulleys were easy enough to swap over. Just thought I would pass on this info to anyone who may be looking for a new alternator.

Raggylad Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I can vouch for AlternatorMart. Excellent Service, rapid delivery & good advice (I was upgrading from a 45A to 75A alternator); price was good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 have a look at island 4x4 on Ebay, they are doing genuine part 300Tdi (100A) alternators for £109 at the moment.... I've bought a few things from them, and they are excellent to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
