Im guessing you have a 55a alternator then. You could upgrade to a 70a with no problems, or you could get a nippon denso 150a one for £500, or you could steal andypsgwide's

the big f'off diesels i think (not 100% sure though). Btw, whats the biggest alt you could get for a corsa? richie you said you could get a 150a for 500 squid, but i take it you can get bigger than that for corsas?

I remember a post bout alternators a bit ago where some1 (cud hav been Corb) said they were gettin this really good lookin high end alternator for about £500!! (Was very nice tho, lol)

Some1 posted that a company sells 120a 1's for just under £200.

Who ever u r tell the lad where u can get em from plz!

I can get 120a ones but they do need modding to fit, involves a bit of bracket fabrication.
