Related to this forum post. Flat battery / faulty alternator issue.

 

Local options didn't work out. Repair not an option (Well you could debate, but that option could cost me money and no result). Auto spark and my garage could not source through their networks.

 

We had to remove the alternator to find out the details. It was hidden deep!!! So my only option now is source overseas.

 

Here is one site I found, and example of the alternator (incl vacumm pump) that I need. 12V 100amps.

 

https://www.sparepartstore24.co.uk/13625808-ridex

 

Has someone else done this? That are NZ based and ordered from the UK / Europe. Few sites I've found via the part number (LR1100502K) don't list shipping out of the UK / Europe.

 

I do have a few possible contacts in the UK that might be able to help, but I thought I would check in with GZ community first.

 

Thanks :-)

I've ordered boat parts from the UK before. I emailed an enquiry to them and suggested they could ship to me excluding VAT. They quoted a reasonable shipping rate, and didn't charge VAT. So it was a good result, but i assume different shops will behave differently

Happy to work with you to get it sent to a UK address, and then onto yourself.

get in touch with the shop/seller. we found recently that a couple of things (for work) we tried to buy from overseas didn't include shipping details. apparently due to the wonderful tariff situation if shipping into or out of the US. on reaching out to them, they were happy to ship to NZ.

That lists four alternators. Which I found confusing as each has slightly different measurements and different pulley types (solid / clutch). But each lists my vehicle and oem number.

 

I'll check with my garage. I did ring ASG, and apparently they can order them from their Europe supplier...
