Getting a bigger alternator

Postby DanFraser on Tue Feb 05, 2013 12:03 pm

As I'm running electric windows (and aiming for four), heated windscreen, electric heated mirrors and other standard electrical gubbins I need to get a bigger alternator. In the 1.6 16v zetec I believe it's a 55 amp which squeals like a pig most of the time I'm thinking I need around 90 amps plus if I add heated seats. Does anyone know what alternator I need? Part numbers would be awesome of course.
