I have to replace the alternator in my 91 Terrano. Damn things draining the battery and I think the bearings gone. Anyway it turns out its the same alternator as fitted to a 91 Navara and the TD42 patrol. Does anyone have an idea about what is a good price for a second hand one or what i should pay for a new one.
I believe its a common fault for the alternator to fail on the patrol, therefore on the Navara and Terrano also. Given this, what are my chances of getting a half decent one from a wrecker? Or should I buy new? I have found a secondhand one in Lismore ( wherever that is ) for $330. Anyone have a spare one lying around?
Also there are two pipes connected to the back of it which I have been told contain engine oil. Is this correct and will they cause much drama when I go to replace it.
I mean will I have to drain the oil or just plug the pipes while I swap them over?
Thanks for your help
Jim
