bungy 2 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Flashed up the 4mo after 3 months laid up and got the above alarm. Anyone know where the easiest place is to put a multimeter to see if it's charging or not? Link to post Share on other sites

cabrioman 6 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 still check it there mate soon tell if its charging or not ... or if you can get the back of the alternator test it there ... Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Mine flashed it up Friday as my battery was flat Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Think I'll get a new battery tomorrow anyway as the one on there looks like it's the original. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I put a meter over it today and with the engine off it was showing 11.6 volts and with the engine running only 11.2 volts. New alternator? If so where is best to get one? Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Why not get your original reconditioned?We use a company called Directpower for any starter or alternator recon work. Fast turn around, and reasonably priced too.His name is Alan, and his number is 01730 710 210, the address is Unit 2, Buriton business park, Petersfield, Hants, Gu32 3nj Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'll give it a try. Can't get the fricking thing out at the moment. Think I might need one of your persuaders Paul. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I've got access and the 2 bolts out but it just won't move. Don't want to force anything. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 After a lot of pushing and pulling and then some helpful advice from Parky, out it popped. Hopefully a new one in tomorrow. Maybe I should put up a "how to". Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Collected a new alternater today and parted with £157...All fitted and engine run up. Showing a nice and healthy 14.4 volts across the battery when running. Link to post Share on other sites
