Hi, I've bought this new alt. from Island 4x4 to replace knackered one from 2001 4.6ltr. but the new one has a couple of xtra connections. So do I connect +ve to either red post or is this part not a match to the old? see pics

Been around for a while but this is my first post.....BTW, Howzit all from South Africa!

Recently also had to chuck my old alternator for a new one with similar terminals to yours.

Was told to connect the positive to battery on B+2 and the earth on the obvious smaller terminal.

It works perfect in my Rangie like that.

Perhaps if you call Island they can also explain why the back of that "new" alternator is so filthy and the posts show obvious sign of having been installed. If indeed you purchased a new or reman unit and not a used one I would be sending it back.
