I said XU not XUD.
Still, four or five different XUD alternators over what, best part of 20 years? Still pretty damned good. Atleast one of those is shared with an XU too - the 80's engines are super easy as one alternator fits pretty much everything XU/XUD!
Your problem is more that you've used parts from various cars making a Frankenstein which makes life very difficult if you don't make a careful note of exactly what cars the parts came from in the first place. Can hardly blame Peugeot for that. I bet you'd have had no issue at all getting an alternator for the original engine in the car when you could specify the age and particulars.
As I said, try some other marques if you want a nightmare finding the right parts - you'll get those four or five alternators used on a particular model with a single series of engine sometimes!
