I am after an Alternator for my 2.4i LWB Frontera.

I am having big problems getting one.

Does anyone know if there is another model that can be fitted onto this car, or where I can get hold of one.

Thanks

Mark

What's up with the one that's on it? Have a look for your local auto electrician, who should be able to refurb it, and may even have an exchange unit on the shelf.

I got an exchange unit about 2 years for a BX TD at about 1/4 the cost of a new one (and the one I exchanged was seized solid!).

Is it illogical? It must be Citroen....

Isn't it the same as fitted to the Isuzu of the same age ?

Mark,

You might have a 70amp or 90amp fitted at present, should be a Bosch.

I don't think anyone but Vauxhall/Opel fitted either of the two types and the cars you can look for to get a match are...

70a:
1978-82 Vauxhall Royale 2.8/3.0
1984-94 2.5 Vauxhall Senator
1989-94 Vauxhall Carlton 3.0

90a:
1984-87 Vauxhall Senator 2.5/3.0
1987-94 Vauxhall Senator 3.0 24v
1989-93 Vauxhall Carlton 3.0 24v
1984-86 Vauxhall Carlton 2.2
1988-95 Vauxhall Carlton 2.0

Hope that helps. Of course I agree a repair/rebuild by an auto elec guy may be best.
