Aw, thanks for the mention! It's a great feeling of achievement when you tackle a job you are not keen on and you find out that it was not that bad after all! I avoid puddles as much as possible now after drowning the alternator on my Astra. £380 later . . . ! And that was 25 years ago!

I know exactly how you mean pal. Normal rain and puddles shouldn't have affected the disco alternator but I think all the mud that came through the grille clocked it up. I'm no mechanic by any means but I think it's better to learn something yourself instead of paying a fortune for the garage to do it. 👍🛠

@@deanshortland7194 Yup, I like a bit of tinkering. Getting to old for much else! I've done a video on changing the alternator rectifier pack. Unfortunately, I've never tested the alternator since. I'm waiting for another failure first!

Useful video, thanks. Where did you get the oil feed pipe? Looks a bit more robust that the stock one.

Is there a special tool to get the oil drain hose clip off?

@deanshortland7194 2 жыл бұрын

no special tools needed, i used a socket set and spanners to remove

@@deanshortland7194 i remembered, screwdriver to ply open the clip. Cheers though good vid. I did it with the pully on kast time from above. Far easier this way
