120 amp Valeo is the one I'd go for. They were the factory fit and tend to achieve 100,000 miles plus. Available at Euro car parts. Lee.

Can't say I've heard of BOLK but given the saying Buy cheap buy twice and the amount of work involved changing an alternator on the diesel engine I'd be wary of putting that on my car personally. Lee.

HI Dave.
Your alternator will either have a two pin plug or a three pin plug, remove it and check, also ask the sellers to make sure.

Three pin plug

Two pin plug.

This is my local auto electrical factor, they recently supplied me with a Sovereign brand alternator which so far is fine, I found them very helpful. Worth a call if you haven't sourced one yet.

I have a 2 pin alternator in good mechanical condition which the regulator/brush unit has failed.

If anyone would like to have this to repair for their own use, PM me.

Can be collected from Worcester or Solihull.
