Hi all,

As the title suggests I have today suffered with a stuck 300tdi alternator.

Having sprayed with some spray grease, (After removing the cambelt!) the alternator is now spinning freely.

Would this be okay to reuse or would you recommend a replacement?

If replacement does anyone know of alternator re-manufacturers in the Oldham area?

Thanks in advance!

Ask yourself:

1. Why did it happen?
2. Have the bearings been damaged?
3. Could it happen again?
4. Is it worth the hassle if it goes again?

If its stuck its cos somthing is wrong. Get is stripped apart and new bearings atleast. But probably cheaper to just get a new one.
