alternator service and repair, kent

[lufbramatt]

Evening all, had to leave the car at work tonight as it won't charge the battery, suspect the diodes in the alt have failed. Can anyone recomend somewhere in Kent (medway/Maidstone) that can test and repair Bosch alternators? Would rather not have to but a whole new one.

Thanks for the link, will give them a cell tomorrow. Work are going to love me taking the car to bits in the carpark

I did phone South Eastern Auto Elec on Wednesday after pulling the alternator off in work car park much to the bemusement of my work colleagues. Did it in under 10 mins though which shut them up. Guy on the phone was helpful but about to go home early for new years eve.

I'l try TA Spares first as they're much closer, taking my other car down to Rochester in the morning for it's MOT so will be passing anyway on the way home. If they're no good I'll go down to South Eastern.

cheers again

Yep that's the one, proper old school place full of cardboard boxes on racking full of bits. Took it down there this morning, hopefully he will come up trumps :-)
