hey guys

i was going to whip out out and then have it re-furbished professionally, my local garage will put it up on ramps and take it off while i get it done etc....... theres a place near me which specialises in re-manufactured ones so i thought that i could see how much theres was etc, they do a lot of ones for older classic cars hence i wondered what the part number was.

have either of you done he DIY job? is it straight forward and is it possible to get it wrong?

cheers

Cheers is that just a simple wire from the body of the alternator to the body of the car?

Yep am a member of Ferrari chat, unfortunately I have no way of lifting car etc so it will be down to the garage, but I am going to test the car this week to see if the warning light comes on etc and go from there

so after a bit of thought i am going to sort the alternator next spring when the car will come out of hibernation as the chances to drive it between now and then will be quite sparse as we get a lot of rain where i live...... in terms of what i am going to do i am going to buy a new one from eurospares as it was on ly marginally cheaper than getting min refurbished.

apparently also if the housing is cracked (which you wont know till you take it off the car) then they wont refurbish it..... i think that when will do it i will have a go at refurbishing the one that i have then i have a spare etc....

slight electrical burning smell, followed by alternator light coming on...... left car for a couple of days, started it back up and light came straight on...... had chat with foskers they thought that it sounded like it had gone.... have you any other possible ideas?
