Alternator alternatives?

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

You could have yours rebuilt at a Lucas/Bosch service centre. It may not be cheaper but you know it will fit

Any competent auto electrician should be able to give your alternator a birthday!

I think I’ve only ever bought one new alternator, the rest I have had rebuilt & if the frame was large enough I’ve had uprated twiddly bits put inside.
I can’t recall ever needing to have a reconditioned one reconditioned.

I belong to several LR forums, both Spanish and British. This MGs one is the liveliest and the nicest of them all.
