Anyone has done this ? The carbon brushes and voltage regulator are in same part, looks easy to swap but don't know where to get it. Thoughts ?

I don't know if the part numbers listed are compatible with your alternator, but here is a link where someone did this on a range rover.

On second thought, you probably have the valeo alternator.... that was for a bosch.

There is a part number for a valeo brush and regulator set... I don't know if it's compatible.

Most of the 4.0 V8's had a Bosch 130A unit fitted, we hold a spare brush and bearing set for ours.

The main bearing at the front is a special, back one is OK to source. Brushes were off the shelf from our favourite auto-electrician.

I'll see if I can get OEM part numbers.

Brushes: Bosch 1 127 014 028
Rear Bearing: SKF 6203-ZZ
Front Bearing: Koyo 838218

I have the 4.6 with the Valeo 120 amps unit. Do you have
Brushes for the Valeo ?

found the regulator/brush holder locally.

Still looking for the diode plate. No reference or
number on top of diode plate.

Anyone know a source ?

Bringing up an old post, but did anyone find a source for the valeo regulator for an '04 D2?

The one from dnlauto appears to be the same, apart from the wiring harness. Did anyone get it to work?
