Hiya folks Just a quick update, and thanks for the further suggestions. I have fitted the new alternator, and all is now well with Q2-002. Hopefully get a refund on the faulty unit - still just under the 12 months warranty. > > Best regards > James T > Q2-002 > www.bostin.photography > --

Hiya folks Thanks for the reply, I have checked, and confirm I have the 'under' type of bracket, so require the Left Hand unit. Easiest way was to swap for a 'Pinto' style alternator, so all sorted. Just got to wait for the lovely weather so I can actually fit it... Best regards James T
