Alternators

Quick on on alternators.

This one is off the car at the moment and is heavily contaminated with oil

I bought this one off eBay for £40 as it looked in good nick. However when it turned up it was ceased so the guy refunded me.

Now the above one looks different from the one that's on at the moment. Question is will the new one fit (yes it has VTS written on it but I don't trust that at all) and work as I can get it reconned for £30 (new bearings etc).

He's. This is exactly what I have just had with my reconditioned alternator.
The new one has 2 terminals rather than a plug and a terminal yes?
So the big terminal won't be a problem but as for the plug situation, cut the plug off the end of your wire that goes to the alternator, strip back the white one, crimp on a terminal and stick it on the smaller terminal on the alternator. Then just leave the red wire that went to the plug as that does nothing!
I hope you understand what I mean?? But this is exactly what I've done with mine
