The XR3i is back on the road for another summer of fun. But, the alternator is whining plus now and again the alternator sounds like a bag of spanners.

After I killed my original Alternator, I had 2 QX Components branded ones: one was doa; the other died within a day. The next one I had was QH and that one lasted a good few years, but still only about 5k miles.

My question is: what brand alternator are the ones to look for and at what current rating?

Cheers,

Lee
