Pembo Posted 6June, 2021 Report Share Posted 6June, 2021 Had the Inlaws here for the weekend so took the FIL to Cars and Coffee, bright and early. Only to breakdown outside Villanova College barely 100 metres from Turbo Drive. Alternator crapped itself. We got there eventually after getting a new battery which got us home. Alternator is out of the car. Any recommendations for Auto elecs that will know how to rebuild a Marchal with external reg?

Pembo Posted 11June, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 11June, 2021 It's OK, I've found the man for the job. After some ringing around. Sal in Sunnybank seems to know what he's talking about. Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not installed yet. Will do today. He was very very reasonably priced even though i told him it was from a Porsche! Hopefully it is all good to go. looks like he's done a thorough job from first inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please share their contact details? I have an old one which I recently replaced, its a spare, but thinking I get it refurbished.

MFX Posted 19June, 2021 Report Share Posted 19June, 2021 I bought a brand new alternator about 6 months ago which I have only done around 2000kms on that I will have available for sale soon for anyone who needs one. theplanner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's Aldyn St Just advise him not to sandblast around the fitted housing too much. Mine's fine but it's probably possible to make them too sloppy with too much blasting.

Hi MFX Any chance you might have the new one still lying around? May need one after I do some investigations on my 79 SC over the weekend.

SCM491 Posted 28April, 2022 Report Share Posted 28April, 2022 Hi Mike I thought you could only pull it out for me and I couldn’t get anyone to come back to me re rebuilding it and also needed it sorted ASAP as the car is with Garry Russell about to have the AC installed making the replacement a larger job… sorry mate, next time… G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
