Alternator problems??!!!

[steve reid]

Last week my battery light and stop light came on all of a sudden. Took it to be alternator so went and got a second hand one and had it tested before fitting it to my trophy. Had it out a few times now since fitting it and all seemed fine until today they came back on again. Hopefully not alternator again? Any help would be great thanks

Buy a new alternator rather than second hand units.

Here is the part number of a new unit

And here is the numbers off the Old OE one from the car (mine was a trophy too)

Yeah thought about that but could there be another reason for this happening or is it just bad luck with the second hand altenator?

Could be just bad luck.

Have you also checked the earth straps and tested the alternator ?
