Hi guys, I have one of these and haven't got a clue where abouts it goes? Does it go inside the car underneath the gear stick? I haven't got any instructions so just a heads up as to where it goes would be brilliant! Thanks in advance :)
I paid 1400 for my 172 cup, the cam belt had been changed in late 2010, I bet I've spent close to another 1400 getting it all working well though! New battery, new alternator, new sump, 4 new tyres, getting the Chav stuff off and getting back to standard, all new disks and pads! New exhaust and...
Hi all, just going to end this thread because I fitted a new alternator and all is well again! Was a night mare getting the old one out the engine bay, had to unclip the fuel hose off the rail and even then it's a mega squeeze! Apparently my battery light was only coming on when being revved...
