Where can I buy a cheap alternator or get damaged one repaired? Has to be cheap as other problems also urgent if I am to keep my '94 baby on the road.

There are a lot of specialist firms repairing alternators for exchange etc.,
try autotrader or yellow pages

Check for posts LOC for the p/steering problem, sometimes the fault is only a failed 'O' ring on the unit. Not always a disaster!

Thanks again. Will do as you say and post results .

I have found somebody who will rebuild alternator. I now need to get work done on power steering unit. Can my local garage be trusted to do this work or do I need a specialist? If so, any recommendations? I'm based in the Midlands.

Hi Pops,

I have a LS400 power steering pump that I'm not using. I got it with a 56K miles engine and I have moved the powersteering pump over to the other side of the engine to fit in my kitcar.

The pump seems in good nick with no leaks and the alternator below it was as clean as a whistle. If youre interested drop me an email.

Cheers,

Tony

A kit car with a Lexus V8, now that sounds potant !
