IIRC, the 240D had the 55A alternator - why waste power pushing electrons
around that you don't need? The cars with more electrical accesories got
larger capacity alternators. They won't hurt, but it's unlikely that you
need any more than 55A.

You don't hurt anything using a larger alternator. I'd go for the 65
or larger. 55 was probably changed to 65 with the MBNA insistence
that US model 240Ds were luxury cars and had to have electric
winders, sunroof and every other thing they could think of to hang on
the US models.

The 65A looks a bit different. Will it fit? Yes it's a bit more money.

If the alternator is old enough to have worn out the brushes you should
at least check the bearings if not actually replacing them.

Then go with a 55. But still try the brush/regulator set first.
Last one I bought was around $17, but that was a while ago.
