Frequently asked questions

What is the A133 alternator and what does it do?
The A133 alternator is the Lucas-type 65A charging unit for the 3.5L V8 petrol engine. Driven by the auxiliary belt from the crankshaft pulley, it generates current that's rectified to DC to charge the battery and run the electrical loads, with an integral regulator holding output steady. It's fitted to the Land Rover Defender V8 twin carb.
Is there a core charge on this alternator?
Yes, this alternator carries a 100 euro deposit (statiegeld). The charge covers the old unit, which goes back for refurbishment, and is refunded when your old alternator is returned. Factor this deposit into the order total.
How do I confirm this A133 alternator fits my V8?
This is the Lucas A133 65A alternator for the 3.5L V8 twin carb Defender. Confirm your engine is the carburettor V8 and that the existing unit is the A133 type rated at 65A, since other V8 set-ups used different alternators. Check the belt and pulley arrangement matches before fitting.
