gentlemen [ i use the word loosely because i am creeping]
i can't tell you exactly what is wrong with my alternator but I do know the regulator is gone as well as other things. it has been to someone who refurbishes alternators but he can't get the bits.
I have part nos from toyota now and they say it is a standard engine but after contacting over 40 scrappies and specialists in jap spares only one has been able to say he knows the one I am talking about. it is not listed on autodata which is what these people go from I was told.
the cost of a new has now gone to £379.79p + vat
it is beyond our means at present [if I value certain pieces of my anatomy as I would have to cancel the wedding to get it done]
i would like to enlist your help

could you possibly send me phone numbers of any scrappy in your area you think might possibly be able to help

I am trying to get photo's but this new xp wont load the drivers for my digi camera.
basic description of alt
about 10'' dia by 8' long. on the back of it is a vacuum pump.
it fits on the back of the engine.

one thing that concerns me. all the replies I've had from toyota say I am not allowed to forward, print or discuss what they have said with anyone. what is so secret?
of all the scrappies I have contacted only one actually recognised the alt I am looking for but didn't have one unfortunately. he did call round to try to get one though. that is good service.
thanks in advance. I am in danger of loosing it big time over this. who could believe an alternator could cause all this. 6 weeks now and still carless, still walking and still totally P******d off
