I am guessing that i am just going to put the two thick brown wires to the one big nut on the right and single brown and yellow wire to the little nut on the left?

Just to be clear I am on about the two nuts inside the black plastic surround.

Ok next issue, new alternator does not have a pulley wheel on the front to mount the belt, and the old one even gripped in a vice when i turn it just turns and turns, relay hard to turn it but more feels like i am turning the hole unit to get it to trun, is the nack to getting the bolt undone to get it off, or would i just be easer to buy a new pulley wheel?

Its not like i can drive it atm, ether way with too falts atm, so dont mind waiting if i need to order a new bit?

Click to expand...

Air gun or alen key in spindle then belt the spanner with a hammer
 
2.5 NA I had put a scre driver up in to the fan bit and had it on the floor, to stop the fan bit spinning round, which stopped the rotating, but maybe that was not stopping the correct bit. Maybe it was just turning the hole spindle in side that.
 
I swapped my alt on my disco 300 tdi for one off a RRC i think it was... the connectors were different but if you look at the alt there r letters or symbols on the alt and i just matched them up and it worked... (i think) :)
