I bought a alternator off eBay and it was the wrong alternator, now I'm fighting the seller. Seller said there were two for this year, one from 2002-2005 and one 2005-2008? I wrote them and said I just wanted one for a 2005 and he said I ordered the wrong one. So just wandering if there were two different alternators, does anyone know? He said something like it was a split year on the mini...I don't know, just trying to get my money back, would think they would have something on the ad asking or telling us that there were two different ones for that particular year rather than this will fit your 2005 r50. I have a photo but can't seem to get it to upload.
