Ark Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Looks like I need to replace my alternator... I found the stock part number (27060-46200-84) and that's fine, but I was curious what people thought about up-rated units like the Mechman ones, or the various ebay offerings. Pointless? Garbage? BOTH?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 It will be cheaper to get yours reconditioned, find a local specialist, save hundreds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well, I took the old alternator off, planning to go down the refurb route (local guy quoted me £95 without seeing it)...but this thing is knackered. Every bit is corroded and nasty, and there's a big old crack in the housing...I'm surprised it worked at all. Been shopping around and I have to admit I'm cautious of these 80 quid ebay options...but I also don't want to pay 300£... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Thanks for the offer. Do you know whether it's a new or reconditioned unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Thanks for the offer. Do you know whether it's a new or reconditioned unit? I 99% sure it’s a new unit, I remember it coming from SRD themselfs as car was having polished unit fitted, and alternator was only on car 10months, I have just got it down and it’s looks perfect and spinning it over it’s lovely and smooth. Few more close up pics of unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Thanks for the offer. Do you know whether it's a new or reconditioned unit?

Ark Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 For what it's worth, the local alternator specialist I was going to ask to rebuild my broken unit instead sourced me a brand new, tested and warranted unit for £192. Fits like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
