Just have a Google for Lucas A127 alternator, they are all pretty much the same left or right hand can be changed with just a few screws, the only real difference is if it has multi plug connection or the studs and nuts for the main power cables.
They are fitted to all sorts of old cars not just Land Rover

£220? :eek: he's having a laugh, but it's not funny - worth a phone call ? ask for a lot of discount !!

If you have an old one, easy enough to rebuild - tis what I do to mine now - got fed up with them being either broken from new, or delivered in bits :mad::mad:

A127 is a very common alt - fitted on loads of perkins stuff - tractors / generators etc. ...

I thought it would be just as cheap to get another :confused:
Yer I will look for a rectifier & set of brushes probably cost under 30 quid, I still need another alternator
as ive got a twin set up. I'll have a gander for the A127 though. :)

Saying that it cost me 180 quid to get the one for my evo rebuilt, a new one was over 600 quid :eek::eek:
Then it failed after 30 miles :mad::mad: Wouldnt have been so bad but its a bloddy nightmare to get it off.
Stuffed down the back of the engine :(:(

What I did when a coil let go in SWMBO's, was, buy a cheapo off the bay - IIRC was a NAPA one, about £90, and then fitted a proper Hitachi reg to it, to make sure it wasn't frying the MFU...:rolleyes: :eek:

Some cheapo's in the link in post #7 :)

Cheers.
Yer that would be a disaster alright, my alt is kicking out nearly 16v think is fried one of my led headlights. I really shouldnt be sitting about looking for parts but its now started to rain id be as well taking the rest of
the day off. :)
 
A127 regulators on ebay for under 10 quid, I always carried spares as the mud wore the brushes away in hours, small allen key headed bolts are ideal.
The tractor battery sensed ones are slightly more money, but give you more volts as they measure the battery voltage at the battery rather than at the starter motor.

FFS! I've had all sorts of issues with regs, quite recently - fried the MFU in my D1 - think electric chair fried :mad::mad: - found the voltage up at 19.4V...:eek::eek::eek:

( shamelessly copied from another post by me on a similar subject .. )

Mid ulster rotating electrics have the spares for your alternator - BUT, i'd make damn sure you get the right regulator - it's par for the course now for regulators to allow rather silly voltages - like 15.3 ... and this will not do the relays and such any good on your RRC - if you have an MFU or an alarm, it will toast it nicely.. you can ask me how I know this too :mad::mad::mad:

I now use Hitachi regulators which limit voltage to 14.2, and, when they come off load - like when you switch your lights off, they drop the voltage instantly ...

And, yes, this has become something of a soapbox for me ;) :rolleyes:

( another cut and paste from another of my posts:- )

If you have a decent DMM, measuring the AC voltage across the battery terminals should give you a good guide - ideally you'd want to see 5mV :) ... certainly no more than 15mV :eek:

If Mid Ulster can't supply the correct set point regulator, then www.buycarparts.co.uk - who are actually based in Germany :confused::confused: should be able to. Assuming it's a Lucas Marelli A127x, then the reg will either be (Hitachi)130799 or 130820 - The rectifier is a Lucas 131304 ..

Here's a link to the mid ulster A127 page:-

As I mentioned before, watch the set point of the reg like a bl**dy hawk!!

19v :eek: I'll get the Hitachi one ordered, I managed to get 2 working alternators for 40 quid the pair
I'll probably refurbish them too. :)

Thanks very much for the links.;)
