My alternator (more accurately, the diode pack) seems to have succumbed to engine bay heat and has given up the ghost.

Unfortunately, I have a meet on the 29th that I've been planning for ages, having missed the previous 2 years.

I can't find anywhere in Europe that has the replacement part and I won't have time to get it sent from the US.

So does anyone have one of these spare (really only the diode pack is needed)? The part number is TN1002116370.

Thanks very much in advance! smile

I've had stuff from chuck in a week, admittedly something small light and in stock (a gasket), but that was standard post, i just depends if he has it in stock and how much your willing to pay to ship it. You can get anything around the world in 24 hours if you pay enough.

Unfortunately the car was in the middle of tuning at the time that the alternator packed in - that'll still need done too. frown

as Dave said, it's only a small item so you can get that over in a couple of days

we had our full exhaust system headers,cats and cat back off parts rack delivered in 3 days, and those boxes were huge

The American's are still up, especially jon b at parts rack in Washington, he can probably have one on a fedex plane tonight and probably at your door for 5pm, quicker than any of us, not least because we don't have one so far. Expect to get reamed by fedex though

Drop a PM to Ginja, I think he had a spare Alternator knocking around?
