R75con · 8th February 2009, 13:07

Hi As from my other threads.
I replaced my Alternator in 2hr 20mins including 4 cups of Tea and time for a smoke.
But was told i had a BIG job on my hands.

Glad it wasnt.

replacing the Alternator also sorted my low rev problem

And im very glad i got some good Advice from the forum.
So many thanks
M.

The last one I did I removed the bumper and left the rad connected and lifted it up as a unit as high as it would go. Saves a bit of time.

Well, I withdraw my pithy comment and offer that man around of applause.

I am going to have to do this within the next couple of weeks by the look of things so a quick run down on your method would be appreciated.
