Thanks for the info. I have done some further investigation and taken some pics. I have got the engine No. AAZ 398 481 and the mounting bracket has the part no (sorry if this is wrong) GGG(or 666) -40 068 9 0(or 9) 31450. I don't have a part no. for the alternator as it was a refurbished unit. First...

Thanks guys but the problem is not the alternator. I know the previous owner changed the engine from a 1.6TD to a 1.9TD but I think they used the 1.6TD alternator mounting bracket and alternator. If I am right the 1.6TD had a v belt pulley but the 1.9TD has a 1 inch wide grooved belt. So the garage ...

I need help. I had a problem with the alternator of my van. It has had some modifications (It would take to long to explain but I can't just replace it) on it before I got it and now it's failed I need to find out what it should look like. I think it is a 1.9TD AAZ engine (there is no engine code) w...

Not the Van's but the first since I bought it. Hence "my" (should have explained better) It's only taken 2 years and getting myself out of debt to get to this stage. Looking forward to her first trip. Surfing in May hopefully then possibly some T25 weekends.

Should have a bit of time. Give me a call

Mine is up for "my" first MOT next week. Expect it to fail but at least I'll know what to fix!

I have given up on appearance. I renamed the van "patchy" cause of all the poor finish. As long as it is structurally sound and I make it from A to B without using the AA I'm happy.

I would look at how bad that rust is. Cause if you don't you could be throwing good money after bad. I'm happy to help as you may only need a small patch to sort it out.

Hi fix,

I feel your pain. Just finished a similar operation on "Patchy" (you now have an idea of how good my welding is) PS tried to PM you about your interior as I am interested and live in Wildsen but it's sitting in my outbox. PM me if you want to do a deal
