Got the alternator back on and started driving it again for the first time in well over a month :)

jubly... nice one... all good

Workin on the car as we speak, 2.5 DSE, replacing alternator Alternator is back in place, yet for some reason, there's way too much belt. WTF is going on here??? Anyone care to offer phone support, as we've now lost dayliight and are working by torch. PM me with your number and i'll...

Finished the re-wiring job on the front end

fantastic handbrake though eh !

How to bodge the cam or crank wire :cool: Pictures supplied, but the basics are; Join the two smaller wires (black and yellow), in the normal way then tape them up. Wrap the whole section in tin foil and then tape that up. Squeeze it all back inside the rubber housing... and then...

Not surprised to hear back from the fella at the electric garage.... Aaaaaaaaaas the alternator is fine!

Thanks... if it doesn't pan out, i'll pm you for that wire

fixed all but one wire in the wiring loom

If you look at the second picture, which gives the most detail, it give the appearance that a smaller section of wire is capped off at the top of the main wire.

Hello again. . After noticing the issue with the damaged wiring loom that runs from the ECU, i have managed to repair all but one of them. . It's a weird one, as it's a black wire, that is lined with what appears to be silver foil. . Inside said foil, is more wire, and inside that loose...

I took the alternator off and found a ruddy big hole in the wiring loom...:eek: kinda sucks... badly
