| Denso Alternator shortage - Issue resolved |
|
For anyone searching our website for Alternators, I am sorry to say we have run out.
With the problem that JLR are experiencing with supply recently we have sold over double or normal in Janauary, I ordered more about 10 days ago but Denso are out of stock in the UK until "Early Feb".
(Orders placed today prior to this post are OK)
I can get alternative recon units but no new Denso Paul Redding

Unless I'm wrong you normally list the Denso alternator here:-
http://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/electrica...3-17-c.asp
presumably it's not showing at present as you are out of stock.
I was thinking of pre-ordering if there is likely to be a shortage, as knowing my luck the alternator will fail at a time of poor supply.
I'm contemplating bring forward the 105k/7years belt change to this year & will change the alternator & oil pump at the same time, so having one in hand would be useful.

Nigel - Correct, I have removed the link as I don't want people ordering what will be a distress item, paying for it then putting pressure on me to magic one out of the box, I have plenty on order and I would think things will return to normal when LR sort their stock out, I think their issue with reconditioned units has just added to Denso Europes sales in the last month 
Next shipment in I will hide one under my desk for you. Paul Redding

Update today -
Denso - Now quoting early March and we will only be allocated part of our order as there is such a high demand.
Lucas exchange units are available today, sadly same price as Denso new ones, but that's all I can get that I would put my name to today. I appreciate there are other sellers but I would like to stick to New or very well known reconditioners.
I have an alternative source for new units (Copies, not Denso but not Chinese either, we buy other units from this company and happy so far) - They have ordered me some for April and will be about £30 less than the Denso. Paul Redding
