Default Best Place to Buy an Alternator

It's for a Nissan Patrol.

Bought one off eBay with a 5-year warranty, and it lasted less than two years.

Don't mind buying online if delivery is not too much, otherwise somehwere in Perth (Northern Suburbs) would be good.

I reckon your local auto electrician is as good as any.

It might be a bit more expensive but at least he's nearby if it plays up.

Why don't you just claim on the warranty and make them send you another one?

It was on ebay & it was 2 years ago. That warranty isn't worth zip.

What's the WA equivalent of NRMA/RACQ/RACV?

I'm guessing they do alternators. Could't hurt to get a price from them at least.
