Alternator wanted, ideally for carb 2.8 V6 Cologne (or anyhting that will work)

[lukeboorman]

I fitted the battery to my rarely used transit Mk1 camper this weekend in an attempt to get it working. The alternator produced a lot of smoke (snow fell into the engine bay when opening the bonnet) and is not charging the battery. The engine still started. The engine is a 'thirsty' 2.8 V6 cologne (I think) it has a carb with electric auto choke, which has a connection from the alternator so I don't know if this can be bypassed.....

An alternator near Sheffield would be good, otherwise can pay-pal money / send cheque for posting etc.

Thanks

I have one of these:

Motor factors gave it to me for my old xflow. It was fitted for a few days but engine was later removed. I'd say it was almost new.

if you think it would help you can have it for a tenner plus postage.
