Default ALTERNATOR?

Is it true that you can get a 90watt alternator as i need to get a new one
ive spoken to Ford and they told me they only do the 70watt one which is fine. So if anyone knows where i can get a 90w from let me know or if not then ill just get the one from Fords which ive been quoted 100 notes for CHEERS

Alternators are measured in AMPs mate, best bets are diseal ones they are usally a higher amp.

Yeh should be well up to the job, really the only time you need to upgrade is when you have loads of ice, or anthing else that draws a lot of power.
