Emergency! Does anyone know where I can get hold of a preferably reconditioned or outright second hand alternator for my 1995/6 Hymer b654? This has really scuppered our plans. We are in Nottingham at the mo, but were looking to be hooked up in the Derbyshire Dales over xmas and the new year.

No one local seems able to help, given the timing. But a local garage has said that it appears to be a Bosch BSC0986041381 from online records. And that’s about £300 inc vat.
 
Assuming your on a Peugeot or fiat 2.5 TD base any motor factors should have one.
 
You’ve not mentioned the conditions or fault, may be a silly question, but are you sure the alternator is goosed.

I ask only because some years ago and on a number of occasions since, my alternator light came on and alternator wasn’t giving out any power. I discovered that if I disconnected the earth lead for a minute and reconnected, everything went back to normal and was charging again.

Good luck and hope you get it sorted asap.

PCS in Derby 01332 378877 open till 6pm or Claycross near Chesterfield may be able to help they got me an alternator my 1992 Talbot. They take the old one in part exchange.
 
I would have thought parkers should be able to get one

What chassis and engine is your van based on?

Thanks everyone for all your help. I’ve found a legitimate company (RTG Automotive in Leyland) that can supply a reconditioned one with a 2 year warranty for £84 inclusive of vat and delivery. My garage wanted £240 inclusive of vat for a new one. Every little helps
 
Good result...just about a mile from my house, on Golden Hill Lane, the old Fishwick Buses depot. A big Lidl shop directly across the road in case you need to shop, and 400 yards from a Morrisons that has lgp.

Hope you get it fixed in time.
