Title: Replacement alternator Post by: JohnFol on June 27, 2020, 01:12:06 PM I have a failed alternator and am trying to source a replacement. The current one is a 65A Bosch unit with a sticker showing 0 120 489 142 143, so the part number format is correct (apart from additional 3 digits) but unable to find a replacement unit (only bearings / regulators etc.). I can find "replacements" listed that are described as this "This is a hard-to-find, correct OEM-issue Bosch alternator for all Lancia Beta series cars. Self-regulated, two-wire hook-up, 65A output. Bosch PN 120 489 876" but as highlighted, the last 3 digits differ so my confidence is low.
I have a few local companies that can refurbish, but that means being off the road, so could anyone confirm what the right replacement part number is? Title: Re: Replacement alternator Post by: Nigel on June 27, 2020, 02:56:05 PM John,
If you want to expand your search, i've just read on this forum that early Astra alternators may fit, also those fitted to Ferrari 400/512 models.[!] Another thought is to seek a friendly parts factor who'd allow you to put a tape measure to some on his shelf. Some dimensions are critical,of course, but others don't matter. Spacing washers and possibly longer/shorter bolts is the key here.

You could try WOSP in Aylesbury they list LMA032 70 amp. Luke Woss is normally very helpful and it will be a top quality unit. They also re-build units and did for me. No idea of the price sorry.
