Valeo 120 Amp Alternator upgrade?
Just wondering if anyone has installed one of these, how much life / actual current you got out of it, any issues, and if there might be other amperage ratings available elsewhere on the after market? So far I have found no other options that weren't the standard 105A replacements widely available at the usual online and at brick and mortar places.

Thats for the R50/R52 Cooper, you have a Cooper S? Think their site is messed up.

This is the correct one.

Good to know. Mine is an R53 JCW. The question I have is, 'will it fit and work?' because where the alternator is concerned it looks like it should be the same form factor as any other S.

Glad to help.
