Sprint alternator

Post by STEVE5M »

The alternator on the '87 Sprint 1.5 QV needs replacing. The engine is the 95?bhp one.

Can the sudmeisters advise on new/old replacements?

Cheers!

Cheers, Alfamet!

Now that's why I love this place. Any other forum they'd be bitching and smashing me for not knowing where to look.

Aw shucks. :oops:
No problem Steve. Sharing of knowledge is what it's all about to keep these iconic cars on the road.
Merry Christmas.

Shrew,

That's £48.08 plus £48 alternator surcharge that is returned when you send the old unit to them.

That'll teach me to scan read after a few Christmas Eve sherberts! :?


Still, not a bad price at all considering your old alternator isn't worth a deal if not working anymore eh :D

That's a fair price as far as I'm concerned.

Back to the sherbets!

Hasta luego, amigo!

Kev,

I doubt they are good enough for one of your rebuilds.

Smoke enough? :D

Just in case anyone's following this and intending to buy one of these......

They called today. The item listed is no longer available. They have sourced an identical replacement from Denmark for an extra £30. So, £79 plus a £48 refundable 'alternator surcharge'. Lead time is 14 days.

They're good aren't they Steve? That's what you call good service.
They always do their best to help in my experience.
Glad you got sorted.
