Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Alternator Brush Set - the carbon brushes for the alternator, part of the charging circuit. The brushes bear on the rotor slip rings to carry field current into the rotor winding, generating the magnetic field the alternator needs to produce output.

The brushes wear down in service; renewing them restores reliable field excitation and charging output. Suits both battery-sensed and ignition-sensed alternators.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3215 alternator brush set used for?
The RTC3215 alternator brush set is the pair of carbon brushes that carry field current into the alternator rotor. The brushes bear on the rotor slip rings to excite the field winding, letting the alternator produce charging output. It's fitted to the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006) and Range Rover Classic.
Why do alternator brushes fail and when should they be replaced?
Alternator brushes wear down as they rub on the rotor slip rings, and worn brushes cause weak or intermittent charging, a flickering battery light, or a flat battery. Renewing the brush set restores reliable field excitation. The brushes are replaced as a set, not singly.
Can the alternator brushes be fitted at home?
Fitting the brushes is typically a DIY job for someone comfortable with auto-electrics, but it usually means removing the alternator and, on some units, unsoldering the old brushes from the regulator pack. Basic hand tools and a soldering iron are typically needed. The alternator is usually easier to work on off the vehicle.
How do I confirm this brush set fits my alternator?
Confirm fitment by your engine and alternator type. The RTC3215 set covers the Defender 1987-2006 in 2.25L petrol, 2.5L diesel and 2.5L petrol (Less A/C), and 3.5L V8 twin-carb, plus the Range Rover Classic. It suits both battery-sensed and ignition-sensed alternators.
