Have you got the heat shield on the back of the altenator????

Sounds like the altenator is getting too hot from the heat soak from the manifold/turbo

Fitted a re-con alt on my saph last year,lasted 2 days,had a good blast and it melted the regulater off the back of the altenator

This was before I realised there is supposed to be a heat sheild on the rear of alt

Made one out of an old piece of turbo heat shield now
It could be that, The alternator is on the back of the engine and the turbo on the front


Sorry m8,thought I was reading posts in the Cosworth section
