FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi, I have a problem with my alternator again. The battery light is on and it is over charging. When engine is cold it shows 15.3 volts. I had same problem 4 months ago when I replaced it with a second hand one from the wreckers. Previous owner had to replace a regulator as well a few years ago. So this is the third time same problem.

1. Is this a common problem in FTO's or could it be something wrong in my car that keeps blowing regulators.
2. Not sure another second hand alternator is the way to go (do not want to go through this procedure anytime soon). Is it possible to get a new one and what price?
3. Does anybody know where in Sydney I can get a regulator replaced in my alternator (my brother is a mechanic he can take the alternator out of the car for me)?
4. If both points above fail does anybody have a good second hand one for 1996 MIVEC?

which part of sydney are you in? I have an alternator from my wreck.

I'm over in Frenchs Forest, my brother is in Randwick, I work in the city. Where are you? Is your alternator 4 or 2 pin plug? Is it of a MIVEC 2.0 V6? Call me on 0417 231 028 if you like. Eugene

what is your budget? I got a brand new one from ebay for 320 bucks. I tink its nationwide auto spare parts. Freight is free from memory.
