caterhamnut Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Anyone know of anywhere near Slough or Staines where we can take a alternator (already out of the car - Elise) to be tested? www.mycaterham.com here 88,500 miles -1st 1.6k Supersport, '95 Motor Show car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Give Michael Calvert a call, he is the acknowledged Slough environs alternator wrecker so may well know of a testing place. Let me know if you want his mobile number and I will mail it to you.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted December 15, 2005 Support Team Share Posted December 15, 2005 Angus - I got an exchange alternator at a place on the Slough Trading estate called Quickstart: 844, Plymouth Rd, Slough, Berkshire SL1 4LP Tel: 01753 567077 Cost me £80 for an exchange unit. They can probably test the one you have before swapping but best to give them a call first. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
