  • Swapped the alternators this morning (afternoon really)

    Took these measurements.
    Old alt.
    car off: 12.27V
    car running: 13.6V(--) (slowly increasing) and 29.3 V(~)

    'New' Alt.
    Car off: 12.29V
    Car running 14.2V(--) and 30.9V(~).

    So the new alt is stronger, but the V(~) didn't change drastically.

    I've just gone out and check the Voltage between the alt body and -ve terminal and it was 0.07V (--), so after lunch I'm going to go out and checking the earths. I might even buy some new straps etc.

    I'm also planning on taking the batt to where I bought it, to get it checked, as I bought it about 355 days ago. Hopefully if it's damaged at all, I can get a new one under warranty.

                      There's only one thing wrong with that pic. Not enough cars in the driveway!

                      OK, you're right - two things. Add the Vectra sedan to the list!

                      Nothing to see here...
