Refurbish Alternator for 100 series

My alternator needs a new voltage regulator and bushes. I've done it on my old merc so now I'll do it on the cruiser, just need advice from anyone who has done this so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

It's a GXL 100 turbo diesel hdj100r. Is the voltage regulator internal or external.

Ah, sorry I have not replied earlier but I have 2 new family members that are keeping me awake till the wee hours of the morning! Thanks for the replies, I can assume that the consensus is to sell the 100 and purchase an 80 series with mechanical pump or go earlier if I don't mind slower less modern ...

This is not really a performance question. I am wanting to run on veg oil and the indirect engine is the most suitable for it. For a direct injection engine it is best to use a mechanical IP. I'm looking at saving money on fuel. I tow a horse float and other heavy things around including a big ...

Sump plug

Sorry guys but I am struggling. I'm delving into the world of do it yourself, with no mechanical knowledge but willing to ask the dumb questions, ' exactly where the hell is the sump plug to change the oil on my 2001 cruiser turbo diesel ' . No, this is not a joke, diagram please. I'm sick of ...
