Ive just received a replacement alternator for my 16v and as its dark outside i cant see mine properly! I had this book in to be fitted tommorow but can someone please confirm that this looks like the correct part?

Looks like the one mate. Slightly different to the one we stock but all the lugs look to be in the same place. Just out of curiosity, where from and how much? 8)

Its made by "Iskra". Hopefully it will be fine!

They are a pretty reputable company tbh so should be fine. Thats pretty cheap for a new one that, not far off trade prices so you've done well :)

How much you paying to have it fitted?

Just being nosey as i've fitted 2 to my williams in last 6 months and want know how much i've saved lol.

On a serious note, don't let them charge you anymore than 2hrs labour.

Fit mine to then :)

Na im paying around 2 hours labour, and they know the engine is an arse to work on after they did my cam belt and pre tensionser, which Renault failed to do the first time it was changed...!

Id give it a go myself by i have no tools here at the flat, or anywhere to work on it!


Best way to get it out is to take the bonnet off and lean the rad forward and wiggle it out as such?

If only you were closer! I've changed at least 15 of them in the last 12 months, I think my record is currently 24 minutes old one out and new one in lol
