Where can I get a G4X 2A, A127-70 Alternator.

Postby AndrewW » Fri Mar 12, 2010 5:33 pm

My alternator's on the blink and I need a reconditioned one. Alternatively I need to know if the original could be reconditioned. I've done the usual searches and drawn a blank. I live in Wolverhampton. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Any motor factor, A127s were fitted to transits up to '97

i got one, but you would be best to put the 95amp on from 97-on.

Thanks psv. It seems a good idea to get a 95 amp as it's for a camper with leisure batteries. Would there be any problem fitting this later model?

you would need the 2 pin plug and modify your wiring a little bit (but nothing too major)

err no its not...

The bosch 95A has a 2 wire multiplug for the rev counter and exciter wire and a bolted on charge wire.

The lucas either has the wires all bolted on, or the earliest ones had a plug witch is basically boggo spade connectors.

Oops see what you mean PSV :oops: bosch one will bolt straight up

Come Monday if the fittings don't overcomplicate things, I'll be looking for the higher watt version. I thought I'd give the Transit Centre in Dudley a call amongst others. Just out of interest does this place have a good reputation? Many thanks to the respondents for their help. This has been my 1st post and I am impressed by the readiness of others to assist.
