Alternator Type
My alternator has just packed in. It's is one of the conversion kits from ESM. Does anyone know exactly what type it is? I want to go to a motor factors first thing and get a replacement. It is wet and windy outside and the car is a mile from home and I don't want to take it out tonight. I have taken out the battery and am charging it in the house tonight and will hopefully bring the car home first thing. Any help appreciated.

Re: Alternator Type
No idea what ESM supply - I use Lucas ACR 16/17/18 and that fit's straight on. Used to get them for £1 at autojumbles.... There is a place in Bellshill that reconditions alternators etc - but he's not cheap. Sure it's not just a broken connection ? Usually it's just the brushes sticking - or needing renewed.

Re: Alternator Type
Thanks Roy. I have taken it off and the connections seem fine. I'll shop around today.

Re: Alternator Type
Went to Shandon Electrical in Bellshill and he will check it out and should be able to repair it. Thanks anyway.

Re: Alternator Type
I fitted a reconditioned one today cost £35.
The car must be getting old - petrol pump last week now the alternator. I may need to get something a bit more modern - maybe a 1970 one!

Re: Alternator Type
It's completely different - probably 3 or 4 different ones cobbled together! In hindsight I might have been better to order the one Roy suggested from ebay. Anyway needs must.
