Hi all,
Does anyone have a link to alternator parts (brushes) for the Land Rover D3 (LR3) YLE500240 (Denso) alternator for the 2007 4.0L V6 (Ford) engined machine? I have been beating my head over this only found a company in Texas but they don't ship to Canada. This is just crazy, if nothing I'll get the Texas outfit to ship to my brother-in-law in New York, then have him mail the parts (brushes) to me. Any other reasonable source that ships to Canada would be appreciated... Thanks in advance!

They do, with ridiculous prices, like$15 for the brushes and $25 or $30 (U.S.) for shipping, just looking for a link to a reasonable source. It is sometimes just cheaper in this throw away society of ours, to throw the whole alternator out and get a new or remanufactured one, all because of a $5 set of brushes and 2 $15 bearings...
EDIT: Looking for 150 amp type brushes for a Denso, but any make would do as long as they are 150 amp (thick and big), I have the means to custom fit them...

Don’t know if there’s anything in this topic that might help, old post with several useful web sites.
Thanks, got the basic kit (bearings, regulator, brushes) from Maniac Electric in Houston, Texas, was going to send to a relative and have him remail to me, but just reached into my wallet and paid, still much less expensive than buying a reman or new alternator. When we pull the engine I'll put the kit into the 250K Km alternator, I'm sure it is close to being a casualty.
Mr. Land Rover is now parked in my friend's shop and on the lift, we'll be looking at an alternate method of temporarily pressurizing the suspension, perhaps using nitrogen...
