hi

my battery keeps going flat im assumeing its the alternator as its a newish battery

 

what i would like to know is what alternator's fits the terrano 1991

 

from what model pathfinder and what model fits from a patrol

You could get one from a Nissan Quest or a Mercury Villager. Both are minivans (no idea what they're called in AU or if either is sold there) and have higher amperage than the stock one you have. You may have to swap pulleys and modify the mounting bracket but its not difficult.

Have you had your alt tested? You may have a pinched wire or a short thats draining the battery and the alt is fine.

yea i did i took it into a auto elec place they said its charging but drawing 2amps

 

ive narrowed a little as well the big plug on the back near the top is fine

 

its the littler wire that has the nut on it that seems to be drawing the amps

Bugger, Im just down the road and had a spare alternator up until about 3 weeks ago. The alternator off a TD42 GQ Patrol I believe is a bolt in fit, the Navara TD27 will also fit. Dont know if the Pathfinder one will work as the alty off a Terrano has a vacume pump built in.

spewing about that i really need a another car to look at the wiring this ones shocking

 

maybe we should meet one day soon so i can see this list is what i beleive will fit the terrano
