the one I got came auto electrics australia also at archerfield , ashdown was to be next on the list while i was there tomorrow if the other mob cant help
You can usually tell if it is just the brushes as your alternator light will flicker for a few weeks before giving up the ghost completely.
Took the alternator back today explained and showed the fitting issues between the two , they agreed with me and were very sorry for the inconvience , and will be getting the issues sorted as they agreed it was not a straight swap and the shaft was a different length , so a big thanks to them for their customer service
I then said i was going aroud to Ashdowns , turns out they supply ashdowns with the same alternator , and recomended a guy closer to home that does rebuild them , droped it off today should get it back wednesday arvo all like new ,
thanks for the advice once again

Just on the off chance I rang nissan this morning and got a price off them , I new it would be expensive but was not quite ready for the response $ 1575 plus gst , then he asked if i would like it fitted , out of courisity the wife said and how much would that be , the response was another couple hundred , needless to say his offer was declined ,not that it was ever going to happen , but I often wonder what it would cost to build a car out of genuine spare parts , I reckon i could have that new waterfront house and 50ft bertram and still have change , long live the after market suppliers

That's interesting, I thought Ashdowns would of tried to sell you an OEX brand alternator.Originally Posted by gaddy

well went to start the car today no go reset the management system to link the batteries and away she goes , put the multi meter on 12.6 at the battery , then put it on the alternator 12.6 , gave the car a rev 12.6 switched on the head lights droped down to the low 11s and never came back , both batteries were good on the hydrometer , belts all tight so looks like back to the sparky that rebuilt it last week , starting to think that maybe something is upsetting the alternator ,
