Taaadaa! lol I didn't even think of looking at images when I was looking up the part numbers before. A lot of the websites just kept linking to alternative alternators or don't seem to have much useful info. Mick

I was just wondering why the one from the VR was so thick (I mean it's not massive, just larger than I would have thought). Cool I was thinking around that range, but I wasn't sure where to find the information from. Where did you find that out? Do you have datasheets of some kind? Thanks for...

Thanks for the very clear response Rudi. Excellent diagram. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but apart from the terrible use of naming in my pic, haven't I wired it up the same as in your pic? If you re-label my wires you get: Alternator Plug E: Black Wire F: Green Wire N: Blue Wire Wiring Loom...

Yes sorry I reverted back to the internally regulated terminology The alternator is the second one I showed above: the 27030-54243. From memory the connector wires on the Alt are blue, black and green (same orientation as the plug side) but I'll double check tonight when I get home.

Hey Rudi, So I ended up snagging this regulator: Does this wiring look ok? Sorry for all the noob questions, I just want to make sure I get it right seeing as I managed to kill the first Alternator... Initially I thought the yellow would be the lamp wire, but the ignition on the alternator...

Thanks for the reply Rudi. When I replaced the brushes the regulator looked OK, but I'll take it out tonight and have a look to see if there is any noticeable corrosion etc. I've managed to find an external regulator to suit the second alternator, so I'll have a go at wiring that up on the...

Argh, I decided to undo to the top of the alternator where I expected the regulator to be and noticed that there doesn't seem to be one in there... I guess that explains why it didn't appear to be regulating... :bang: I'll have to find an external regulator to suit, and hook that up (hopefully...

Whoops sorry for the massive pictures...

Hi Rudi, great guide, very detailed, but I was wondering if you could give me some advice on my alternator? I've just converted my 22R Bundera to a 5L diesel and everything seems to have worked perfectly except the alternator :( Initially I hooked it up as you show above, with lamp at the top...

Hi guys, Sorry to hijack the thread, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post, but I was hoping to pick your brains... I've got a 1985 petrol Bundera (22R engine), which I've just converted to the 5L. I ripped it from a working donor car (4Runner) and everything seems ok except...
