HI All,

Looking around it seems there may be a choice of a CVH petrol alternator giving 55A and a diesel one with 70A output. Does anyone know if the diesel one fits the petrol engine? If so is it worth the larger one?

Thanks

Derek

The last time I had to find an alternator, all the catalogue listings for
the MK2 Fiesta had the wrong type of wheel for the belt. When my local
factors finally tracked one down it was listed for a Granada !!

It may also be possible to get a suitable alternator which will be a lower price for a popular classic car eg MGB or Land Rover

Hi

Also make sure you get the correct left or right handed one. I have not long purchased a new alternator for Q2-002, and the way the adjuster bracket was mounted, I have to obtain a unit for a OHV engine, not a CVH engine. The adjuster bracket for the CVH should go over the alternator, but on mine it fouls the chassis upright, but mounting it under means it fits properly.

Mine is a 55Amp unit, and it works with the connector on the loom, not sure if the higher Amp units have separate terminals to screw to?

It works well, I got it via eBay from aapoldham, they were understanding when I got the wrong one originally.

Best regards
