met my mechanic by chance this morning,cambelt and japanese alternator are arriving soon.
the 80 makes me smile every time I see it on the drive,hope it's ready for my annual New Years Eve dirt road drive
What a bas***d !
Do you mean the new alternator is not working properly, or symptoms same ?
I'm assuming it's the new alternator, as no point in getting old one fixed until problem sorted ?
At least you should be able to get refund.
there's a fault somewhere in electrics,probably a thick cable.
the easiest way here is to get the old alternator checked and in the meantime find this fault.
I bought the 80 about 7 years ago and nothing was wrong until now,not bad going.
a lot of grief buying anything from the UK now,customs in Lisbon stops everything for maybe months.
Have you had another item not work at the same time. I had warning lights when my rear wiper had packed up. I found a faulty earth inside the tail gate. Fixed the earth; working wiper and no more lights.
new alternator fitted today and all good.the only warning light was my handbrake and it was great to watch it go out!
now I've got two working Cruisers again (today).
