Marc et all,
Went to the market today. Long story, will write soon.
Got my hands on a Bosch regulator. Its made in Spain with the part
number: 0190 601 006. The pigtail connector is missing however. The connections
are marked DF, D+ and D-. It looks much like the one in the link posted by Marc.
Any idea of whether this would be compatible???
Best regards,
Asad
PS: Apologies to Marc as I sent this post accidentally to his pmail account.
