Yes my SE9 was 120.

Hope the weather picks up a bit, dont fancy getting a wet back. As the A'nator is near the top of the engine is the fitting all done from the engine bay?

Yes Andy it came thursday and i fitted it sat morning, took me about hour n a bit, and I did lose some skin, but not alot of blood :lol:

Still not charged the battery yet (still using GF's megane) so don't know if it's cured the drain problem. Have ran it tho, and it's kicking out 14.8V and 14.4 loaded, so allis charging ok. I also got my outside Temp working, just by unplugging the display and plugging back in.

glad it's all sorted, i had to have a alternator fitted to mine just after i bought it

kudos to you for doing it yourself, i got a local independant to do mine as im rubbish with mechanical things

Thanks Boost, Although i still think im losing current somewhere, left the car for 24 hours over the weekend and it turned over pretty slow this morning. Thinking starter motor next. When i do a current drain test on the battery i get 0.08 amps, and im pretty sure that wouldnt make any noticable difference to it, not in 24 hours anyway.

Got me a Solar trickle charger now, sits on the dash and plugs in the fag lighter. i had to run a permanent live to the socket tho, but seems to do the trick. got them on maplins website.

thats probably a great idea for a car that's going to be left standing for some time, I may well invest in one of those once the turbo is back in daily use for the 16V
