Hi,
I'm looking for a new replacement alternator for my GQ TD42 diesel - at 275 000 km the existing one has stripped the splines which drive the vacuum pump. The asking price for the only second hand one I could find was $275 changeover and the same thing could happen to it tomorrow.
Ive found a QLD company which lists them online but no prices.

I havent been able to make contact yet. They appear to be wholesalers so I'm not sure if they will even sell to me. Anyone dealt with them or know of other alternators to suit at a reasonable price?
Thanks

Hi Mark,
I have just bought a new alternator for my diesel Hilux from Auto Electrics Australia in
Brisbane. (07)32774566. The alternator was upgraded from 40 amps to 80 amps, and came with vacuum pump and pulley. It cost me $395.00 plus postage, no exchange. I found them excellent to deal with. They had the unit to me in 3 days from
Brisbane to Wickham in N.W. W.A. Give them a try.

I do not know if you are in
Melbourne or Victoria.
But I have a Nissan truck alternator under the house complete with vac pump.
This was dismantled and checked OK before I left the industry.
I used to carry this around as a spare for the GQ,as it required only minor mods to fit.
If you want it $100 would be fair I think.
