    Hi guys. Does anybody know if my 01 vtr alternator would fit an 03 vts engine? Ive come across a decent complete engine minus the alternator that peaks my budget. Please tell me it fits!!! Thanks, Jamie.

    Not sure if the plugs are different though?

    Ok mate. I'm going to look into it a little more. I will come to you first if i need one mate! I found an 03 vts engine with 45k on the clock. unlocked ecu, loom and gearbox for £500. Unsure if i want to spend that much as it will clean me out!

    Bit pricey to be honest mate, i bought my second VTS engine, single plug for 150 notes. But the engine you found sounds like it comes with everything needed

    It is a bit, but it's very low mileage. The ecu is also un-locked so he says. I'd rather pay the price for a good one than take risks. I'm not aware of all the technical reasons why i have to have certain parts which is another reason buying the complete set would make my life easier.
    I dont suppose you know if i can use my origional vtr loom with the vts engines ecu? Exchanging the wiring looms sounds like a major ballache if you ask me!

    Nah changing the wiring loom is easy mate Would prefer to use the VTS wiring loom as the VTR one could have a few plugs missing which could be vital

    I hope your right! I just asked a lad from stamford and he said il need some extras off the vts loom. Atleast i wont have to source a loom! Im guessing their will be a wiring diagram in a haynes manual. my brother is a bit of an electronics wizard so he better be ready to get his hands dirty!
