I know it gets hotter on a TVR than on a Range Rover but I still think it's utter junk!

Bring on the JE Alternator bracket yes

So no more rattling tensioners for me nono

First one obviously was OEM, replacement may well have been stpart Britpart, cant quite remember.

Either way they dont last Alex, bet you dont have such things on your LS?

A JE bracket is high on my list too, mines 56000 miles old, still does the job but it's a noisy old thing.
Bet we save some weight too?
