500. Which alternator?

Found a website that listed this for the Griff 500.
Magneti Marelli Type A127-65

Any ideas where to get a recon?
What's the landrover part i seek
Thanks

Any Rover V8 compatible alternator will do (presuming you have the serpentine belt engine?). Unless you're running current hungry stuff like heated seats and / or air con, even one from a Land Rover would probably be OK, an 'uprated' one isn't necessary.

For somewhat more sensible prices.

So the standard 65amp one is ok, it doesn't need the 100A version?
Reading through the archives I think it was suggesting serp engines needed the 100amp, but i couldn't see why either.

My car has no luxury bells and whistles, just a few performance upgrades (which Im now too old to take advantage of anyway!)

Bloody marvellous! Thank you.
I am having a wallet emptying season of "oh not another thing!" so I am hugely grateful for this!

I bought a 120amp alternator. No problems with it. Seems the leccy system works better.
