Alternator

Does anybody know where I can get a reasonably priced reconditioned alternator from? I'm in North London. (Kilburn)

what's reasonably priced..take your old one to an auto electrician.he should be able to recondition it for you.or get in touch withhttp://www.syncrospares.co.uk/ they may have a second hand one...or http://shop.justkampers.com/index.php/cPath/2_1034_1253 do them but they are not reasonable...

I'll call them in the morning, thanks.

Perhaps I should have worded that post differently.....a second hand alternator will do just fine. I was quoted 120 pounds for a new one. Bit much I thought.

Left message on ansaphone at Synchros. I'm just wondering, can I fix my siezed up alternator myself? It just won't turn. I haven't really attempted to force it round or anything. Any suggestions? Why has it seized up after a long journey?

There should be a branch of GSF or Eurocarparts near you--google for their websites & you will find your nearest branch--

Or better still - do this:

I did that and now have a 90amp job. I was lucky - a brand new one went through ebay for £25.
