Anybody here know if the brush packs on the 2.8 alternators are removable without stripping the alternator apart? some hgv alternators can have the brush packs taken off the back by undoing 2 screws just wondered if these are the same of if they have to be removed with a soldering iron etc? mines gone capoof so its comin off tomorrow just wondered if i could source the brushes tomorrow and do it myself? any ideas lads and ladies of course Wink

Don't think the 2.8 has vac pump if you scroll down to alternators.

Actually Marc, you mentioned BBA before concerning the G-sensor - I think this might be who you need for the alternator - same day delivery to Sussex and they are aware of alternator failings on Mitsu Shogun/Pajero.

moment of stress i think (the kids im sure you know what i mean lol) ile give them a tinkle in the morning and see what they say,the place up lowther road in brighton wanted Â£140 for a rebuild on it and a friend of mines mate (kaelec in lancing) wants Â£Â£35 brushes only or if its the brushes and the rectifier volt pack? it would be Â£75 so i shall find out tomorrow how much bba want and if its sensible then i think i shall go with them and get a decent rebuild guaranteed,cheers for your help mate much appreciated,phoned halfords yesterday just for a giggle and they said for a shogun 2.8 alternator would be Â£288.00 Shocked

Glad you got it sorted Marc. Back to work now then I guess! I'm off to Southampton again today to check out the Mazda RX-7 and take a load of pics for any interested parties - I keep getting asked if I'll do a PX (some wants to give me a 1996 Mitsu FTO GPX tiptronic with loads of mods + £2k. Tempted.....
You gonna put Mr Alternator Fixer in the "parts" bit?

'twas a good trip thanks. Popped into Import Solutions and picked up one of those sleeker rear foggies for my Deli. The RX-7 is well sexy - I've put some more pics up on my site. Couple of small paint issues need sorting and I think I might try Gleam Clean and see what they say. I reckon £200 should see it sorted. Then into Brighton Mitsu on the way back to pick up my Laguardia Silver paint. Just finished sanding, priming and repainting the bonnet duct for the Deli tonight. Took an hour and looks brand new. Just need to spray a lacquer topcoat now!
