acseuser Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) 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, Simon R 2004 350Z GTspec 1974 Lawrencetune Morgan +8 2004 Volvo V70. For when the other two aren't playing. Edited April 29, 2014 by acseuser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acseuser Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 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!! Simon R 2004 350Z GTspec 1974 Lawrencetune Morgan +8 2004 Volvo V70. For when the other two aren't playing.
