that is real cheap :shock: (is that why u went through 3?)

mine cost me 150 fitted & yep its a primera one & (touching wood) it all good so far, if it f's up then it's guarenteed for 12 months.. so we see if she holds. :roll: :wink:

nope thast not cos i went throu 3, since fitting the recon one its been fine that was 8months ago, and ive an apexi keeping check on the voltage so i know its good

what happend was, bought the car, bearings seized in the alternator (alternator 1).....bought an alledgely good one from someone, ...fitted it.....alternator died a couple of days later (was taken off another R that had been lying about for a while) (alternator2)....

the original one where the bearings seized, i got stripped down and completely rebuilt, for £60...(alternator 3) :lol: :lol:

its been 100% fine. :D
