Ive just done my 1st job on my new Clio 16v......Ive changed the alternator. God what a sh#t job to do.
I must admit I didnt have a Haynes manual.

Yeah, I did this on mine before i got the haynes manual, then afterwards i realised that the support bracket unbolts and makes the job a whole lot easier!

[Nick Read]

Well if you changed the alternator now youre in the big boys league. Congratulations!

Im getting a Haynes manual today, but I did take the support brackets off and its still a crap job.
afterwards I was saying Ill sell the car as it seems to hard to do any job, but now looking back if its one of the harder jobs I might keep it and get a Hillpower stage 1 kit...????

Some one once told me Alternator was an engine out jobbie. I take it this isnt true?

 

[newboy]

na, its not an engine out jobbie, but at one stage I was thinking about taking the Rad out. Then I saw that if you take the supporting brackets off it might come out...and it did.
