Whatever drugs LR is smoking I want some

...seriously the parts prices for some of their stuff is just a joke. I got a quote from my local dealer for a Marnelli 100 amp Alternator for my 95D1 3.9 V8 - $1,320 including GST (Aud). I then went to Ashdown-Ashby and got exactly the same part in the Marnelli Box (ie the same made in Italy part) for $437 including GST. I assume that LR sticks an LR sticker on the Marnelli alts that it imports and that is meant to be worth 3 times the price of getting it from the people who import them from the manufacturer without the LR badge!!!

Thanks Will - when I take into account the Aussie exchange rate (which is pretty close to 90cents US for an Australian $) and the freight I would be close to $400 or more Australian. But I appreciate the offer.

Cheers

Has that aftermarket alternator been to the African wilderness?
Has it scaled the Himalayas, crossed the Peruvian jungle, or slid across the Norwegian tundra?
Does it have 50 years of history and tradition behind it?

I didn't think so.

Has that aftermarket alternator broken down in the African wilderness?
Has it stalled in the Himalayas, crossed half the Peruvian jungle, or lost power across the Norwegian tundra?
Does it have 50 years of history and tradition of unreliability behind it?

I didn't think so.

Fixed it for you.
