[g3m uk]

Hi. Ive registered with your forum on behalf on my dad. He currently has a f reg 1.6 mk1 mr2. Which is now his 3rd mk1. He loves them!
He has recently had a new engine fitted but has niw been told he needs a new alternator but when trying to buy one was told that there is a 60 or a 70 milliamp one and he doesnt know which one he needs. Could anyone offer us any advice? We wod be very grateful as its been off the road for a month or 2 now and its killing him not being able to drive it in this lovely weather! Thanks in advance

Keep talking to us, when you have 15 posts you can put up pics of the car

We all love the Mk1s, they're a fun little car

Seems very patriotic of him

If you send a personal message (PM) to Gary (Mk1 dal) I'm sure he'll explain about the alt
