Adam H Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I managed to break mine early on Sat morning at Dunsfold. One of the bolts that hold the alternator together came loose, shot forward, fouled the fan and broke the casing.

Hurtle Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think I can help you! Does your alternator have a plug for the wire from the loom or bass nuts? If its the plug type you are in luck? Jas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam H Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks for the swift reply. I've just been down to the garage to have a look but as the damaged unit is still in the car I can't quite see the conection type. (there is a black plastic cover plate on the back of the alternator) I'll try and take it off at the weekend and blatmail you if mine is the plug type. Thanks again.

Hurtle Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ok, It sounds like its the same, The engine It is on is a 1994 1400ss. I will take a photo tonight and Email it to you tomorrow. jas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam H Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 The engine's the same as mine so there's a good chance it will have the same alternator fitted. Really appreciate that, thanks. Assuming it's the same type and working, how much would you want for it? Adam 1400ss 6sp LSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurtle Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Adam, They should be the same It was working on my car about a month ago so it is in working order. If you pay the postage you can have it. Jas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam H Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 That's very kind indeed I'll send a donation to NTL unless there is another charity you would prefer. What do you reckon it weighs? About 4 or 5 kgs? If so it looks like standard Royal Mail parcel delivery service should be less than £10. Would it be ok if I send you a cheque for £12? That should cover insurance up to £100 then as well. What address should I send the cheque to?

Hurtle Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 No problem If you would like to make a donation to NTL I am sure they will appreciate it. I can use my Work Parcelforce account, £6.50 inc Vat per Parcel. Send a cheque made payable to I will send it to you tommorrow. All the best Jas.

Hurtle Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Adam, Its on its way, I included the mounting bolts as it sounds like one of yours could be stuffed. Wile7 I agree with you its a great club, I have just managed to change my 1400ss to 1800ss which is something I would have never have dreamt of doing without the help of Blatchat. 😬 Jas Edited by - Hurtle on 23 May 2007 14:49:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam H Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Brilliant, thanks Jason. I dropped your cheque in the post last night but I think it was after yesterdays post was taken so you should get it tomorrow. Adam 1400ss 6sp LSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam H Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Just got home and the alternator was waiting for me at my neighbours who had kindley accepted it from Parcel Force as I was out. Just wanted to say a big thanks again for this Jason. Upon first inspection it looks just the same as mine so I'm confident it should fit ok. A cheque to NTL will be on it's way soon and if we ever meet there'll be a couple of pints with your name on them I hope the cheque arrived today too. Cheers.
