DannyW Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Well that was fun! Car broke down 60miles into a 120mile journey to east coast at 8pm this evening, ended up being carried home on a low loader, just got in now (nearly 3am) So that's my week at the seaside up the swanny! (the mrs aint best pleased either). Basically i need a new alternator, are they all the same across the supra range? or different for auto and manual? Mine is an N/A auto, is the alternator the same as for a TT??? Need 1 urgent, any idea what 1 will cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 No idea about the alternator, but sorry to hear about your holiday. Have you another car you can take tomorrow.. well today now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, i need to get the supra fixed before i do anything as i need it for work as soon as i get back from holiday. As soon as it's fixed though we'll be attempting the journey again in my other half's R32 golf. I'll be up early ringing around motor factors trying to source the part then getting my hands dirty fitting it if i can find 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 ....Mine is an N/A auto, is the alternator the same as for a TT???.. no, the TT alternator is bigger. I've got a n/a alternator lying around and you can have it for free, if you live close enough. (M25 J4) (edit - just saw you're in Leicester, lol...)
