I also called them several times and left messages on some answering machine, and Never got a return call.
How big an outfit are they?
I have heard of several using their starters, but haven't heard squat about any alternators used on Rovers

You could do the VW bosch alternator swap. I've picked one up but have yet to put it in. I know a few others have done it with ease and success.

Or there's this one from Roverconnection that I was looking at in the past.
Don't really know anything about it except it's 140 amp for $220.

I bought rebuilt one on ebay with no exchange needed. It has been going for hmmm 6 months now.

The good part was it cost less than 100 bucks.

If you want me to look up the seller, let me know.

Anyone know the specs for the amperage output for an RRC like mine, which is a 94 LWB with the 4.2L? I was looking all over the alternator one day, never to find the specs for it. I will be doing a load test on the charging system, and will need that spec. Thanks!

Is this decent enough to handle huge electrical loads, like a winch?
