  10. I just bought an alternator from JK yesterday,when did you buy yours?
     
  11. A few weeks ago, you must have got the last one cos I tried to order another one haha
    I (rightly or wrongly) removed the alternator this evening ready for a replacement which will be arriving tomorrow, I found a couple of brittle cables and questionable connections, any of which could have possibly caused issues? I don' know if it would have got it working but I no longer care as I had lost interest and was buggered if I was gonna refit it to have to take it out again!
    So hopefully with better connections and a different alternator I might have it sussed.... we will see

  12. Possibly you could get it checked whilst its out , then you will know if you have a spare and you can fit your new wires ready and get someone to check they are ok first too . Is the replacement free or have you got to return the other one ? If so worth checking first .
     
  13. I had to get it from another company but I was sending an exhaust back to JK as they sent the wrong one so they said to send the alternator with it if I could get it off in time, luckily I am now an expert in removing alternators so its on its way tomorrow

  19. How difficult is it to replace the alternator? I’m dreading it
     
  20. Ideally, drop the engine on a type 1. What’s the matter with the one you’ve got?
