Zetec Zero Alternator Needed

[Andi]

Does anyone have an alternator that fits an early Zetec Zero?

Mine has given up. The alternator is a 110620 alternator hc cargo. But it looks different to most that are on Google.

Could your alternator not be repaired?

I have had good repairs from my local auto electrician, MC alternators in warrington, tel 01925 415275.

This is an old fashoned 1 man operation so no web site but good service.

Those HC alternators are a pile of junk - mine died on me after 6 months as well. GBS have stopped using them now, they did only sell the Denso version (although I see a Powerlite model on their website now?), which is where I got mine from.

Bit pricey at £220 so might be cheaper to repair, as Ian says....although you'll be repairing junk to slightly-less-junk IMO

Well it lasted 11 years. So not too bad. However I found the tension bracket snapped too. That's 2 brackets snapped. Not even near the welds.

Not quality metals that's for sure

Tbh, looking at the bracket I'm surprised it lasted that long. It looks like the sort of quick prototype I'd make in thin metal before making the proper one in something sturdy.

Get yourself to greens only round the corner from where you used to live in Leicester

I know mate. Greens have been my saviour on a number of occasions. But I found an alternator shop near me in a village. Strange but true. They also had one in stock with a long guarantee. And they swapped the pulley over too. So, a happy man I am.
