I'm just wondering if there is an alternative to use? Something with more power that is compatible? I saw another post whereby someone upgraded it to a 55amp?
The current amp wasn't sending enough power to the battery and it caused the car to just turn off while driving...I did however drive it for 5 hours with lights and heating on after buying it. In addition the previous owner hadn't secured the battery in and cables were loose - which prob played a role too.

The 35 amp Bosch alternators will do the job just fine, provided they are functional. Another thing to check is the voltage regulator. If either the regulator or alternator is bad, I would recommend rebuilding or replacing both.
