Haha thanks. Although nothings really illegal on mine except the emissions. And yours. :rasp:

Nice!. I did ask DrJekyll if he wanted to go up last night but he couldn't so I didn't bother. Glad I didn't now/

After quiet a few weeks of being lazy and using the jetwash just to quickly blast the dirt off, I got around to cleaning it this weekend. Took quiet some time as it was in such a state, especially after last Sundays run out with Dr Jekyll and one in a million. So I took the chance to take some...

Why?

Do GSF do genuine ones?. I did ring gsf the other day and their price was £180 + vat + surcharge. Thats gotta be genuine?.

Haha I wont hold my breath Fred. Your impossible to get hold of!. Checked the Valeo website for my local supplier and theres one near me so I'll give them a buzz tomorrow and if I get no joy I'll give you a call Fred.

Jesus. Renault is going to rape me. Any ideas how much these are at Renault?.

CPA (Car parts & accessories). Its exactly the same except theres a thread missing. There seems to be only two different ones for the 182. 110amp and 75amp. I got the 110 and my old one was 110.

The hole is too big. And I shouldn't have to.

Got me new alternator today, looked exactly the same as my old one. I thought great. Went to fit it and it went on lovely. tried pushing the long bottom mounting bolt through the 2 holes in the bottom of the alternator and it wouldnt screw in. So I took it back off and compared it to my old...

I didn't get it from there. Their ones are lucas ones I think

Not sure what make, haven't seen it yet, its a recon unit and its about 150.

I might be interested. Although I'm tempted to do mine very soon at the place round the corner from me.

Thanks matey, just checking I ordered the right one.

Mine stopped working after I put the map on my car. Although after a couple of drives it worked perfectly again.

Thanks. I would have thought it was 110 for the full fat models, for the extra electrics.

is the 182 ff alternator the 110amp or 75amp?. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2004/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/electrical/alternator/?401745451&1&fe678f897ba551e6ecfbf7fa25e5cb6e6ac72de9&ALTR...

I've ordered an alternator should be in tomorrow. Just done another multimeter test, on idle the alternator is chucking out 12.07 volts and when the engine is shut off the battery voltage seems to increase bizarrely. I'm sure I can smell a whiff of burning coming from the alternator too...

Kumho tyres seem to be underrated. I wanted KU31's but my tyre place could only get KH17's which I went for and they've lasted a good 6 months and they grip really well. Only something like £70 a corner. I must have done atleast 8-10k miles on the fronts and their just about ready to be changed.

Cool, I'm pretty confident it is. Even if the battery was dead, the alternator should still be kicking out 14v when ticking over. Plus its whining I think. Aux belt off for the 3rd time I guess!. :rolleyes:

Wheres the best place to buy a 182 alternator?.

Am I right in thinking the alternator is shot?. I put the multimeter on the battery when its running with nothing else switched on and it was kicking out 12ish volts and I know their supposed to kick out 14ish. Could be the battery I suppose. Any way to eliminate one or the other?.

MarkCup gave me the idea of doing this when we were chatting he mentioned about the old breakfast run, as he used to do it with some others on here, guessing you used to do it aswell.

Haha good pics Mark. I'll see what mine came out like and add them. It was a cracking day. Enjoyed every minute of it. Especially the sandy road blast!.

I missed out. Last two times I went up there it was crap. Maybe next weekend eh!.

Where was this?.

When is it?

Whats the ride like Mark?.

You don't use fuel if your sitting in a car park? lol.
