It was part STC234 from bearmach that I bought. But I guess it could be any manufacturer. Can't be arsed taking it off now!

Cool. I will do cheers.

Yes it was very wet at p+p last weekend. Gonna spray some wd40 on the new one before going out, just read that helps. I had noticed the no charge light coming on when I went through a few deep puddles a couple of weeks before...but went off half a mile later How else can you stop them failing?

Bloody hell 2 new alternators in 6 months!! Cheers for the replies.

Should also say I put my multimeter across the battery and only getting 10 - 11v at idle but was fluctuating. Revving did steady it at about 11.4v. Lights on dropped this by about 0.2v and no amount of revving would bring the volts up.

I was at a pay and play last weekend. After having lunch it wouldn't start, the battery was soaked and it kept shorting out I think. I dried the terminals and made sure connections was secure and it finally started on 5th attempt. Could this shorting out knacker the battery? The rest of...

Just before I go out and buy new ones thought it would be worth seeing if anyone is breaking one and they have the water pump and/or alternator for sale?

Bump, these are still for sale. Plenty of interest from 4 or 5 people but no takers yet. £175.

Well I don't have a 32mm spanner so may as well buy the proper tool! Thanks for the advice, will try not to shear any bolts :eek:

yeh I think it is one of the water pump bolts having had a look at some diagrams. So maybe need new water pump or water pump gasket :confused: Whole thing is a nightmare to get to, gonna have to invest in one of those special spanners to get fan off!

looks nice that

is the battery light on dash coming on with ignition?

The bolt was unrelated, it was the bolt which holds the aux belt tensioner in at the bottom. Got some better photos of where I think the leak is coming from. I think it is coming from this bolt, which I can't get a socket on too see if is loose as is not enough clearance. Well try and get a...

Well I went out to start her up this morning after not using her since last Sunday at a pay and play. And won't start. Something is shorting out / dead battery due to alternator not charging anyway thats another issue. Eventually got it started using jump pack, open the bonnet and there is a...

Bump

Still for sale! Had an offer but then never heard back. Will drop to £175.

Yeh I've got the halfords 4x4 one. Good jack actually. Someone bought it for me, don't think it was in half price!
