Which Alternator for my P38????

Rebuild your own one. A set of bearings and a set of brushes should cover all the parts you need, and they're dead simple to replace.

Or take it to a specialist. LR quote me around £550 plus VAT for a genuine alternator for my VM engined Rangie.

Needless to say £30 later it was rebuilt by a proper rebuilders (plus £10 to get it there in the 101 :-) )

Hi Bob,

I cannot tell you which one is fitted to yours, but usually they are marked with the Amperage IE 100A or 120A.

But If it was me I would go for the higher amperage model if the fittings are the same, as if you have any high amp equipment, it wont work as hard

most of the time. I had one which wouldn't come apart... Regulators are mostly a piece of wossname to fit, and it's not that hard to fit a new diode pack, although ISTR on at least some alternators it requires a fat soldering iron.

As to which alternator... chances are the 120A one goes with an electrics extras pack if there is such a thing, or else with later ones 'cos they upgraded it.

Thanks for all suggestions. Have found out from local LR dealer who contacted head office that my particular vin number referred to a 120amp type and has confirmed the part number. I will investigate local companies with a view to having refurbished if at all possible. Many thanks Bob

Lucas service, if you have one anywhere near you, is a good bet for this. Failing that, an auto-electrical specialist.

Will Lucas thank you for that comment ??
