This is a high-quality aftermarket upgrade alternator, rated at 100 amps, designed as a direct replacement for Nissan Patrols with the TD42 diesel engine. It mounts to the front of the engine and is driven by the main accessory drive belt to charge the battery and power the vehicle's electrical systems. This unit is specifically for GU and late-model GQ Patrols where the vacuum pump is mounted on the timing cover, not on the back of the alternator itself.
Common signs of a failing alternator include a battery warning light on the dash, dimming headlights, erratic electrical component behaviour, or a grinding noise from the engine bay. Replacement is a straightforward job for a competent home mechanic or workshop.
