$400 new, damn!
Range Rover 4.0 And 4.6 Alternator (Same Fit As Genuine Part # AMR2938) | Range Rover Electrical Parts

for that money you could buy the 200a green machine!

i ended up putting the 120a P38 alt into mine this weekend, fit exactly like the 100a i removed, you should have no issues

Good deal - I bought mine from Tillery and he said it was for a D1 so I'm sure it will work fine. Mine isnt bad it's just making a whining noise that's driving me crazy. And I figure 120 amps why not?

I just finishes installing mine, it is a perfect fit as others have noted already. It's charging my two batteries just fine.
I took apart the old one, and to mys surprise the bearings were fine, it was the shaft that was worn out!! Strange...
