mk6 rs 2000 help

Thinking about buying an rs2000 but the car has not alternator fitted and needs a new fuse box.

 

My questions are

 

will any mk6 alternator fit and fuse box?

Is it a pain to fit a new alternator to a rs2000?

 

Also engine wise what do I need to look out for on these engines?

 

Cheers to anyone that can help

i4 engines are normally pretty solid. but the chances are its been spanked for most of its life

There are quite a few different fuse boards, you'd need to get one with ideally the same part number as the original.

 

I think the differences are down to the electrical spec, ie Electric windows, heatedscreen, eleictric wingmirrors all needed more relays and fuses etc

 

You might find a Ghia one from the same age car is the same or similar enough to work.
