jill_g60 0 Posted March 15, 2003 Hope this is the right place to post this?! I've just had my alternator re-built, my local garage charged me 40 quid to take it off, i was just wondering if the alternator would be easy enough to put back on myself? If not then i'll put it to the garage again. Just wouldn't mind working on my car for a bit, trying to learn more about it and how to fix it if anything goes wrong, so if it's easy-ish then thats probably a good place to start.?

W3RKD 0 Posted March 23, 2003 it is very easy to to just check the condition of the bush on the tensioning strut as this can not be brought separetly if damaged.. also dont overtighten the 8mm bolt on the alt or else you will be having it resolder'd again >Sentance removed Sorry, we can't be seen to promote piracy on the forum.
