    Default Alternator availability

    Hi, This is my first post on this forum & it is for my brother who owns a Mk1 260 Se. His car is ill at the moment & i suspect the alternator is the culprit. What is the availability of said item & does any one have any alternative part numbers to the oe one.

    Many thanks
    Steve.

    Original and Replacement Part Numbers:

    The original number you require is:

    XPART No: YLE000320

    The Motorcraft number is:

    CY XR3U-AC 30 8:26 19

    OR

    CY XR3U-AC 02011623

    I suspect the final numbers are irrelevant its the XR3U-AC that is the Motorcraft Number. CY is also Visteons version number I believe, these seem to be available from the States for like $80-$100.

    Hope this helps, (taken from the Forum INDEX).

    I always used Rodley Motors http://rodleymotors.co.uk/parts-serv...eeds-bradford/ when I was running a Mustang and found them very good.

    However, if you need one quickly, Brown and Gammons are showing stock! http://www.ukmgparts.com/product.asp...d-1a31579221b2

    At £210 at B&G it's about £80 more expensive than Real Steel.....seems a lot for express service

    Hi Steve
    Have you thought of taking the alternator down to your local Auto-lekie
    They may be able to repair or rebuild it for you for a lot less
    After all what are we talking about, brushes, diodes, bearings
    My own auto-lekie has a test machine that looks like it was designed and built by Michael Faraday.
    It does the business however, and over some years they have repaired several alternators for me
    On one occasion they rebuilt the alternator using the guts of another that I got from a scrapyard

    Also I have seen a site that sells complete repair kits for alternators, in US I think
    Can't remember what it's called. Perhaps others could help
    Best of luck
    Dave
