150A Alternator Interchangable w/130A? - Land Rovers Only

99DII. Took it down to AutoZone & Advance Auto. Both confirmed the alternator is putting out low voltage. Brushes/Regulator probably. Since I'll be replacing it, will the 150A version work in place of my 130A? Gives me a little more to choose from as well as a few more amps.
Thanks - Bill

Rover never offered a 150 amp alternator. If the auto parts store rates theirs at 150 and it is otherwise the same, I can't see why you couldn't use it. What are they charging for it and what is the warranty?

Eagle Auto Electric on e-bay. Looks like a re-built Bosch. He rates it at 150 amps. Around 150.00 shipped. He has 4048 transactions with 100% positive feedback. What do you think?

Bill did you ever go for the Eagle option - I saw that as well. Gary

Sounds like it is worth charging, the price is right if it holds up, what sort of warranty comes with it?

I ended up ordering the Valeo from BC - will post how it goes. Amuses me how all OEM brands for RR / LR are so expensive - yet the basic components are the same as an AC Delco or whatever that they put in Fords....
