What alternator is this?
My alternator has decided to self destruct and I need to order a replacement ..... the trouble is that my invoice doesn't give any details and
just states 'alternator' 
Can anyone identify the make from the pic?

Looks like one of the small 'brise' type alternators as it can be mounted either side

Which are all denso type but there are literally 100's of denso alternators.

defo nippon denso, but you need the numbers to have the correct mounting etc.. as theres different models around
but as i can see there's no indictation on it anymore, seems to be removed for bling
can be found in daihatsu's, hyundai's, toyota's etc...

as said Denso you can find manuals for it on the net
Actually looking at the plugs and bracket positions suspect it has its origins in the MG-Rover liquidation sale as it looks the same models as used on
some Rovers ---- if so I suspect it needs ECU control.

You say 'self destruct'.. what exactly happened? No chance of getting it fixed?
Too much throw away these days....

Thanks for the input guys, I'll have a word with my local spares distributor and see what he's got in the K-Series flavours.
By 'self destruct' I mean that the bearings are shot due to being run with a tight belt - it sounds like a bag of spanners being shaken up
(originally I thought the noise was my cam followers falling apart ). I suppose I could dismantle the thing and see if I can replace the bearings
but tbh they're not exactly expensive to buy as a complete unit.

How about £25?
It turns out to be identical to this one but not sure of the current rating - it comes from a Toyota fork lift truck of all things!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160422729260&fromMakeTrack=true#ht_500wt_1182
I just whipped it off the car and discovered that the small bearing is totally shot and there seems to be another rattling noise coming from a loose
spacer (or something like that) inside the casing
If this eBay one is anything like 50 Amps or so I think I'll give it a try - my local alternator specialist just quoted me £60 to replace the
bearings or £120 for a new alternator!

£ 25 good find - even has same connector.
quick sums. 50 A is 600 W
head lamps 110 W, rear 50 W, indicator 20 W brake lamps 50 W ecu/engine 200 W
so you still have some W spare.
if you have lots of electric gizmos fitted then you'd need a bigger one and thye will be physicaly bigger.
so since yours is same size as the one in the link, you'll be fine

Pretty much what I was thinking. Actually my car is almost totally LED powered and the only conventional bulbs are the main beams (dips are HID) so I
reckon even with the lights, heater and even the stereo at full blast I should still be ok.
I've ordered one anyway
