i work at a holden dealership.. it tells you on the catelogue what amp the alternator has.. its 100amps.. but if you have fitted the day time running lights you would need a 120 amp alternator..

I remember 85amps been standard for 6cyl VT's i think it was. So 100 sounds about right.

My 6cyl VT Berlina has 100A as standard too. Not sure what VT Executives have.

All the V6 VT variants were 100A if I remember rightly. Police packs being the exception, they had either 120A or 140A models fitted to power all the extra lights and equipment.

Do the VE V8s have a higher output alternator?
