Well I didn't get very far, just very angry!
I read lots of threads on the subject of changing the alternator on my TD4, and liked the one saying it can be done from underneath without taking much stuff away, belt and undertray I think that was it.
I got as far as removing wheel, and partly removing undertray!
This was held on with 2 pop rivets on left and right sides, one bolt at the rear, (one was missing) and the icing on the cake, 2 rivets at the front edge fixing it to the cross member, from INSIDE the engine bay.. WTF!!
Surely this ain't right?
So the only way to remove said undertray would be to rip the fekker out!
Needless to say I put it back together and intend to leave it at the village garage!
