T24RES, I would be very interested to know what the voltages are with the new alternator, especially the under load readings you get. I noticed you were getting 11.7 volts with everything turned on with the old alternator, does the new one improve this at all? |

About 2hrs to get the alternator out. Hopefully less going back in as now I know my way around. Just in from work, fingers crossed for a couple of dry hours to finish off.

Remove the under trays x2, most people will be able to get underneath on extended mode. I left the drivers door open for a few minutes whilst disconnecting the battery so the suspension didn’t come down.

Sounds like reasonable figures to me. I'll test in a similar fashion as soon as the rain slows up for comparison. |

Bleeding the system was ok, slowly does it. Took out the black plug on the header tank, this helps to bleed the system. Then allowed to cool and topped up later |

T24RES did you ever get a chance to check the voltages since fitting the new alternator. I am still curious to see how the new alternator behaves under extreme load compared to the old one. |

Any tips on how to get the alternator past the black pipe in front of it, got mine loose and I just can't find a way of getting it pat the pipe.

These are the voltages read from the IID display: Tickover = 14.1 - 14.2v Full Load @ tickover = 12.2-12.3v ((rear seats/front seats/front & Rear screen/full fan/headlights/radio) Full load @ 2000rpm = 14.1 14.2v Ian |
