350Z alternator quit; good altenative suppliers?

[acseuser]

I replaced the alternator as the original had quit charging, with a non-Nissan replacement.

 

This quit after ~1month, and I eventually got around to sending it back; it was fine, they said, but sent me a new one anyway.

 

This one quit charging; I took it to an auto-electrician, who says "it's the alternator - it's not charging"

 

AS far as I can see, the charging cct is alternator <> battery <> volt meter/bulb. And that there's no connection to the ECU. So nothing could kill an alternator (the battery is all-but new, and is charging fine).

 

I'm going to return the latest alternator to the supplier; they're not happy, as far as I know, but there's not much you can do wrong with an alternator!

 

Does anyone recommend a replacement supplier ? Any traders who can help - pls PM me.

 

Thanks,

Genuine Nissan preowned alternators are in stock and good to go same/next day.

 

Fully working and guaranteed.

 

Just drop me a PM if I can help you further.

Thanks both,

 

I was feeling brave (and annoyed with the remanufactured-part supplier!), so rang my 'local' dealer. Guess how much ?? £867 inc.

 

I'm speechless.

 

I'll be in touch!!
