Hello all again.

I am trying to get an alternator for a 2003 135 TF manual. Rimmers list it as YLE102431, but does not have genuine MG Rover or any reputable brand. I haven't been able to source it anywhere else.

Anyone knows if there is a good alternative??

Thanks so much for your help, 

Pedro

Thanks so much again, Martin.

I´ll do that when I get the new sensor (although it will take some time to do it)

So you were just right.

I kept the engine alive for a while in my garage until coolant warmed enough and then went for a test drive, where the car behaved normally.
Time to order a new sensor.

Thanks so much everybody :):)

Thanks so much for the answers. I will do as you say on Friday and will let you know. I forgot to add that fuel filter and injectors are new and ECU is a KMaps.

Thanks for the fast answer 😊

I don’t have pscan (yet) and you were right about the accelerating. I have not tried to keep it going on the road as I am afraid of having to be towed to the workshop, but I can do it next Friday without leaving my place.

Hello all

Early 2003 TF 135   
Starts great everytime, but after 5-6 seconds stalls if I don’t accelerate vigorously. In that case, dies out like being out of petrol. Haven’t tried to drive it out of my garage (I don’t dare), but it seems to be getting worse. 

As the car is 21 years old and it’s a keeper, I had already planned to change the fuel pump. In fact I have already purchased one (and the FPR) from Mike Satur. 
Any suggestions??

Thanks so much, 
Pedro

Hello all :)

Just wanted to thank him publicly. After several succesful and uneventful orders we had a problem with one shipping to Madrid. I was oblivious to that, and it would had ended with the parcel travelling back to the UK if not for Mike taking great effort and finally reaching me at my office after getting through at least one non-English-speaking person.

I have had a Series 2A, a couple of Defenders and a Series 1 totally restored, with hundreds of items purchased in the last 14 years. And have never met such a helpful seller 2.png
