Retroanaconda Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Take your current alternator down to your local scrapyard and ask them to supply a bigger amperage one of the same fitment. For what it's worth, my 200Tdi has an alternator from a Metro. Part no. ADU9670. It's a 70A unit. Paid about £20 - 25 for mine, with a 12-week warranty.

western Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 the 65amp version is STC234 previously RTC5680.some Ford & Rover car units will have the same 65amp or higher rated alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 After being at peterborough show this weekend i found a 3.9 V8 alternator(so it said on the casing in paint anyway ) and that is a 100 or 120 amp alternator and also is fitted the same way as the defender 200 tdi one, you can use a 300 tdi one if you want to cut one of the lug's off of the backside of it as it won't fit any other way but good for 200 disco engined motors as i found out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 The V8 has a different mounting width on the main mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 So after way too much effort trying to find a larger alternator here in Canada to fit the stock location, I'm still at a bust..... Early 90's VWs have a 90 amp one that is close, but it fouls the water pump. If anyone has fitted one from another vehicle that they know fits...could you let me know the year and model you got it from. Thanks.

Seem to remember a post about this ages ago (although i suppose you dont have them in Canada, so not a lot of help!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Sorry to jump in on this thread but i just realsied it might solve my charging issues! can anyone tell me the standard amp output of a 300Tdi (1995) alternator? and would fitting a more powereful one be better to use with an x-charge and leisure battery?

Seem to remember a post about this ages ago (although i suppose you dont have them in Canada, so not a lot of help!) Sorry, for not being clear. There are NO cars that have the correct one here... What I want is particulars of what cars in the UK use them, so that I can get one out of the UK. There is no problem for me buying stuff in the UK. I just need to make sure in advance that it will fit as returning the alternator because it is wrong is not possible. There are lots of Mondeos with different engines and different alternators. A year and engine size and someone that has seen one fitted would be really handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks, I will read. The last one is a 200TDI Disco engine, which have a different mounting arrangement. You can simply buy a 100 Amp stock alternator for those engines. I need one to fit a Defender 200TDI. I should add some more....I have already purchase two different 100 Amp Disco TDI alternators. Neither were able to be modified to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 So I've contacted an alternator rebuilding company in the UK. They responded right away saying that they figured they could supply a 120 Amp one. I'll post back when they have some more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 They got back to me. They say they can supply a new 100 Amp alternator for 100 pounds that will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the alternator they will suppy you with from? You gonna tell us who the company is? - might give them a call myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Imer Reman, http://www.remanufacturers.co.uk/ They did not say what it was from. I've asked for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the adjusting ear on the other side, which interferes with the intercooler piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 this is also the one where you can change the front end round by removing the 4 bolts and rotating the front casing round to suit either the disco or defender engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 this is also the one where you can change the front end round by removing the 4 bolts and rotating the front casing round to suit either the disco or defender engine If it has 4 bolts, it does not work..... The tabs are 120 degrees apart and thus it only works if the alternator has 3 bolts. I already pruchased two different Discovery 100 Amp alternators. They both ended up having 4 bolt bodies and thus could not be modified to work. The three bolt body units do not appear to be sold any more. The unit IMER is offering is this one, http://www.remanufacturers.co.uk/prod-xf/detail.asp?imer=AL0372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you can get your hands on one the A133 80amp alternator was and still is a bomb proof jobbie , and can be found on RRC and they fit straight on the brackets on a 200 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? I've looked at V8 alternators and the mounting dimensions are quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is useful to know as I almost ordered one based on the post before!! Might just grab a standard one for now on mine as need to get running as soon as I can.
