eh



lewis thats all well and good but its not a erst alt

i can get ya a dynamo off a bicycle for 20 quid but thats pointless aswell



a granada scorpio one is alot more powerfull ( add a bigger batt too) but the adjustment arm is on the wrong side so needs modding to fit

the granada one is a stereo geeks mod from years ago that i had done on me old orion

the granny one dont fit either and neither doe the frst one as that has a different bracket


i was thinking about fitting a cossie alt witha efi bracket as that would work but would cost him more monet as he needs a shorter that erst belt but longer that frst belt and gonna cost him more than the exchange

the motorfactors said u can buy em outright for £125 but im a cheap skate so dont wanna pay more than £50

b19bal dont really need a granny 1 as my stereo dosent drain the batt too much (got a big batt)

cheers lewis but i should really get a brand new one as ive been through 2 secondhand ones in a year looks like i might have to dig deep and pay £77 for an exchange 1 just thought someone on here might of got 1 online for cheaper

swanny did u post on the wrong post lol what car u got now? what happened to ur black s2?

cheers kev

haha, yeh sorry chaps... tis what happens when you just get out of bed.... brain still in la la land. Need a shower and a nice cold beer

Me black s2 got stolen, stripped and crushed (the joys of sending you car to fords to have the alarm removed the day b4! ) Needless to say the police never found anyone

I've just got myself another S2, she only a cheapy at £550 and is a little pink, but give me time... i'll have in tip top condition

b19bal batt is new and it sounds like the alt bearins are knackered so dont think the batt would cause that
