Alternator testing

[caterhamnut]

Anyone know of anywhere near Slough or Staines where we can take a alternator (already out of the car - Elise) to be tested?

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.

there's a good place to exchange them a bit further down the M4 at Burghfield

I have used Burghfield Starter & Alternator Centre as well - very good service.

 

Cheers,

I have an Elise alternator sitting in my garage, came with the 1.8 engine I bought. You're welcome to it.

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.

I have also used quickstart in Slough within the last two weeks and found them great. Went in he immediately identified the model and swopped the pulley etc, done deal reconditioned alternator for sub £30 for Xflow.
