Make sure all your pins are in the correct point @ ecu to each pin on pedal and motorised throttle.
Don’t just continuity check , do a resistance check on each wire once confirmed it’s at the right pin @ecu.
And also check that each correct wire hasn’t a short across to other wires and to...
Do you have a M4R700 engine number ??
If so the part number could be
231000012R
Have a scout about for one .
Put that number in some search engines .
Hope this helps .

Yes that’s a cup alternator .
As it’s in-line top to bottom also it has no thread for the swing bolt .
You will need to buy a long bolt and nut to accomplish securing it to the block bracket .
75amp works fine with EPAS , just be cautious when using all the electrics at once if a road car ...
100% it will fit .
New plug has pins A & B
Match the old plug wires A & B
Temp join the new plug to the OE loom and see if she fires up , if she does she’s golden to solder [emoji1303]

Forget the woodruff key , it doesn’t come into play at all .
The cut mark on the flywheel is the only tdc mark you are concerned with to time it correctly.

How you check your at TDC is off the gearbox marks .
There is a cut mark in the flywheel and a zero point in the box .
The pin slots in at that point and only when at tdc number 1 .
You can confirm by where the rotor is on the distributor cap , firing cylinder 1 is closest to flywheel end...
Erm , looks like your air con is non functional ?
Is that correct .
Anyway moving on .
Mist coming from air vents with air con not functioning will 100% be coolant spray from a leaking heater matrix . The spray from a poss pin hole size leak is getting into the heater air flow and being blown...
You have the pressure switch close by , unscrew that and turn engine over with crank sensor disconnected to try and bleed out any air .

Uphill is fine to bleed the air out , also jack up one side only and then manually bleed by doing lock to lock without the engine running.
20-30 turns lock to lock and try and see if that helps .

I would only suggest replacing the seal.
That’ll mean the gearbox has to be stripped and prob end up being a refurb while your there .
Weigh up costs of that vs a second hand box I guess.

I was messaging him this morning on Instagram , could have been a lot worse than what it actually was .
Shame it’s happened , and I can only advise getting a set of the NLC version.
I have a set of those and have not had an issue at all , only general maintenance on replacing the rose joints...
Shaftec as you probably heard are s**t , Lobroe are German and 100% better quality .
I think I would be buying that one for sure .

How long would it take you to do 20 thousand miles ?
Ages I’d say , rebuild after x amount of years .
I’ll be going gripper for sure .

Just out of curiosity, what CV boots you using then as OE outers we’re thermoplastic , the only rubber one is the right side inner .
Left side inner CV boot has the bearing on .
I’ve not come across CVJ’s before to replace these or the inner spider bearings .
I have OE CV boots and at some...
What I did with mine was , where the ports are , one of the two big ones I left off , turned the steering to full lock one way and then when the steering was turned in the other direction it sucked in the fluid as I syringed it in . Approx 250-350ml.
That was it and it was fine.
