  1. Car all ready for MOT ..... and it wont turn over, just a loud 'click' from solenoid, all connections & earths checked and OK, so time for a replacement..... but struggling to get correct unit, it appears as though there are 5 variants for the 2L and I'm struggling to get correct one (Lucas), now awaiting 'special order' delivery from europarts 🥴

  2. Try bigger wattage bulb in alternator feed wire temporary before stripping alternator off, I had same problem with ignition on - blue thin wire to alternator is +ve to one terminal of warning light and other terminal of warning light is to -ve, when the engine starts and alternator running the bulb 'excites' the alternator and the blue wire changes to -ve ,hence the light goes out, if the alternator belt snaps etc the alternator stops charging and the blue wire returns to a +ve condition illuminating ignition light, sounds complicated but really easy if you break it down

    Hi Lewis

    I have literally taken mine out yesterday and replaced it with a unit purchased from Burton (see link above) I removed old breather with a pair of pump pliers, rotating it back and forth whilst lifting and it came out no trouble, cleaned hole with cloth and burton aluminium breather pressed straight in with a gentle tap home with a nylon hammer

    regards
