Hi all, I have had an issue with my battery not charging, found out there was a small brown lead loose near the alternator, I connected it back to the only place i could see if someone could just verify I have put it in the correct place I'd be really grateful (1st pic), also the capacitor (2nd pic) was disconnected (or i knocked it out when putting the lead back on)
It seemed to fit into the metal housing of the alternator snugly in a hole that seemed the exact size, cant get a good pic of the hole as it is up above the main + wire in my oily engine bay (recon turbo on the list!)

I've left the negative off the battery in case I've done something daft!

Thanks in advance

The small brown wire



The capacitor connected directly to the back of the alternator and bolted onto the original screw thread


Cheers

This any help not mine but good detail.

Thanks, you prompted me to look online for a pic (the haynes manual isnt clear at all) , took me a while to find a match.

The capacitor was in the wrong hole :confused2: the smallest of the three Stadium shapes (didn't know it was called that, more rounded rectangles!)

I had to bend the blade out as it was pushed to one side (from the feel of it)
So all connected



Cheers
