Nuggit 0 Posted March 7, 2007 As random top-tip, and I've known mechanics who haven't clocked on.. If your alternator goes screwy, replace the brushes. They're available from all good industrial electrics places, it'll cost you about ten quid instead of 90. They're located on the rear/side, and have a model/serial number printed on the back, usually held in by two screws. I used to work at an AutoFactors, and the sheer amount we took back, charged huge amounts for, and they just needed brushes, is scary. I wouldn't usually bother mentioning it, but C's seem to be a high mileage car, worth spreading it maybe. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted March 8, 2007 To be fair, regular posters recommend that on here anyway, and have for years, but thanks for the input! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 8, 2007 Yep, any good autoelectrical place will do a regulator / brush pack for a Bosch alt for about a tenner... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
