As above, has anyone got a denso or similar alternator that I can fit to my pinto. The original has past its best sadly

Cheers

fraid not,

but these guys have been good for me, and repaired mine, was cheaper than buying new.

Denso alternators are really wasy to fix -- even replacing the diodes is quite easy.

You can get Denso alternators from just about any scrap yard. They are totally reliable, easy to fit (they do need a few modifications to the original bracket) and normally an extra wire. Once fitted you can forget they exist.

The one on my car was freeby almost 7 years ago. Bought a spare for £15 which is still in the cupboard.

Warning. Do not buy a cheap Denso off e-bay or any other national supplier. They are Chinese fakes and are made of cheese. How do I know, had 3 in a 7 day period before fitting the freeby. Spoke to Denso who with details off the sticker confirmed it was not made by them. Supplier initially refused to refund money but with a mention of Visa and Trading Standards quickly relented. Lucky for me the well known supplier was only about 2 miles from work.

cheers for that info paul, will try the local scrappy.
