Hello, again hoping to learn a bit more from those more knowledgeable than myself, Is there a way to check which alternator I have fitted? I think I've got to change my pulley , its making strange clunks...it's a 2011 HSE auto with heated screens, just want to check before I bu anything..thanks mike

To my knowledge, my year class came with the 180 amp because of the heated windshield but I have a si6 engine. My understanding is that future models came with 200+ amps for a different engine type. Why not call up any LR parts dept and give them your VIN and let them tell you what options are available with part #s and then go do some comparison shopping?

It's the 180amp

The part number for the 180A is LR031223. FCPEuro has them for $321, new. "If I can't fix it, I can fix it so it can't be fixed"

2008 LR2, 3.2L i6, auto, 230K miles
2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali, 6.2L V8, 243K miles
2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali, 6.2L V8, 141K miles, Cam Motion Stage 2 Truck Cam, upgraded TC, set up for towing

many thanks..I'm going to change the pulley as its still charging ok , just wanted to get the right pulley and I think i need a special tool...

oh and wheres the best place for a proper fuel filter, I read lots of scary story's about poor quality ones ..

Im going To replace my alternator to 07 plate car whit out heated windshield.

Local part seller sells 150amp alternator, and there is mention " whit out heated windshield and 180amp for heated version.

Is there some particular reason why this 180 amp would not fit to 07plate? If i get few More years for MOT i Could recycle alternator to my other 10plate whit heated version.

You can use the 150 amp for both, it works even with heated windshield. If you don't have a heated windshield, it's overkill.

Thanks for smart reply, i Will do it whit 150a
