I've heard that the 1.3L (or is it 1.6L) alternator for the Daihatsu Charade is very small and has a slightly longer spindle shaft than the 1.0 L. What is the amp rating on this? What year car was it fitted on? Is it the 1.3 or 1.6L?

45 amps i think on the 1.3 16v, not sure what yr?

Mine came off a 1.3 16v, works well with the 2.0L zetec. If I remember the 1.3 version has a 5 rib poly v pulley and the 1.0 has a standard single v pulley. Either way you will probably end up throwing the pulley away and fitting one to match your engine.

amps - not sure but mine works OK charging the Fiat chiquchento (is that how you spell it ?) battery, I have fitted.

Mine came off a Diahatsu "Mover". Most of the Diahatsu range look the same i.e. all small.

Also the Toyota Starlet alternator is equally small and light so that is another option.
