I need advice on upgrading my 17ACR alt. I would like a Alt with 60 amps or more output.
I have AC installed plus a stereo and amp mounted inside a subwoofer box. The 35 Amp 17ACR isnt keeping the battery topped up. Anybody know what I need. I have searched for 20acr but not sure if it will work or not with the existing bracket and 3 terminal plug.

Try putting something like "high output alternator" in Fleabay. You should get something like

landrover high output alternator | eBay

It might be slightly different over there but you get the idea.

Pretty much any older alternator will work - older ford or British Leyland ones will probably have similar bracketry and the electrical connections are easy enough to convet - do you have salvage/scrap yards in Thailand?

Ok so LRA602, or perhaps A127 from a mini? I just want it to fit onto the series 3 bracket, . Thanks for your advice.
I wish I knew of a wrecking/salvage yard full of British vehicles, I would be in heaven!
