[QUOTE="Sam McGoo, post: 649393, member: 27468"] I replaced the alternator and all seems well. 14.5v at idle, and the charge light is doing exactly as described now. Not a terrible job, but getting that 36mm nut off the back of the fan was a challenge with the engine in place! Used several combinations of ratchets, bars, spanners etc to try and get the leverage needed to get it off. Just as I was about to admit defeat, it finally came off. Had to do it twice as the new one must sit in a different position so I had to swap the shims around so the fan didn't rub. Anyway, done now, and had a 65mile trip and all seemed well. Fingers crossed it continues.[ATTACH type="full"]10936[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]10937[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]10938[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]10939[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
