Griff 500 Preserp which Alternator

[waggy]

Hi,

My Alternator has failed after 31yrs loyal service. Tested it, whilst engine running, no voltage coming out. only see battery voltage on main terminal to Earth. Seeing 12.6v on Excitor wire ok.

My question is, after searching Forums I cannot find the exact replacement. Its a 1994 500 preserp. one of the first 500s built.

Theres no label on it or code numbers, only that its a Magneti Marelli , the voltage regulator is 28000B 20 93

Motoclan List it as EO462 which is out of stock, asked and they cannot say when they are available. £117.94

some say its a Lucas A127 75A L/H which i can get from CJF Auto Electrics for £66

Or Land Rover Defender 200TDI STC233 £79.99

AutoDoc AEA1227 £151.51 but picture is of a R/H fitment not same as mine.

I would prefer a Motoclan one as it should definitely Fit but they are out of stock.

Racedirect are also out of stock. no indication of when they will be available.

Could anyone point out the best alternative... I don't want a cheap Chinese one.. but i don't want to pay £300-£500 as some Land Rover sites are quoting.

Thanks

Alex
