first question do surfs share their 3ltr td engine with the land cruiser prado? took my mate with a jap import prado off roading for his first time today and may have killed his alternator with a bit too much mud. anybody know any good repair places in the adlestone/heathrow area if it is terminal?

i think the prado and the 3ltr surf have the same engine, can't help with the alternator though..roughtrax and milner off road might be a starting point, as i think they do recon exchanges for that motor?Last edited by mickey; 9 October 2005, 22:30. -
tell him to get on the dog an bone to the jap spares places...your lookin for a rectifier -non service item therefore new replacement - possibly couple of brushes (brush pack) and maybe one or both bearings (if your really unlucky) Its a Nippondenso generator IIRC but you'll need the model no off the label on the side of the old one...If your feeling guilty about your mate's car, its a DIY fix...Alternative - new alternator - dont think they do exchanges - well not here in "the sticks " anyhow Gud Luk...Originally posted by openback

cheers for the info, haven't heard back from him yet if the "batt" light is still on.Diesel, like petrol only betterComment

the batt light on the dash could be due to a loose connection to the alternator. this happened to me once and all i did was push the cables going into the alternator in.Comment

not looking good! anyone now any mailorder/local to addlestone or crawley sources for the above components? rather than going for an exchange unit. the place i got my last set of brushes from has closed down!Diesel, like petrol only betterComment
