I would give Nick @ Yeovil a call if you haven't already.
Nick will have the lowdown on alternator locations

Or find somebody to repair it for you. they normally fail on diodes (or they did in the old days anyways).

I had a real problem trying to get an Alternator for my Disco, my dealer done alot of chasing up and got one from LR through critical parts, still had to wait over a week for it.

The alternator in the D3 is manufactured by a well known brand(can't remember the brand). Any company who specialises in repairing electronic motors should be able to repair it. Like Countrywide says, the diodes most likely will be the problem and can be exchanged for a few bucks. CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS

Hi All
the alternators are made by Denso are you looking for a recon or a new one alll the alternators are the same right up to 09 but the part numbers have changed my 05 is running an 09 alternator but had to buy a brand new one.
Euro car parts were doing them for a while but it was cheaper to go to LR
cheers
