One million times thank you!.for years I have thought I might have gone over the top at a shop that sold me alternators for my 300 tdi .they would only last a year at best .so dismantled the alternator to see what was going on.well ha .because the main shaft wore the bearings were fine. All they did was put a metal shim on the shaft and send it out as new .I was not a happy bunny.
i found an old fiesta xr2i alternator brand new in my shed from a g reg car 1989 i think stuck that on my landy and works a treat lol and i am not even from yorkshire lol
Check the individual diodes with a multimeter, no need to desolder and not on the metal bench.. 😉😉 Three have negative body, three have positive body.. easier now than when back on the car..

I think you will qualify with that one!
Made in UK, probably at MM's Spring Road factory in Tyseley, Birmingham.
I used to live near by
The knowledge you have Mike is 2nd to none. Thanks
I like the way you take the fear out of cleaning such items
True but Mike hasn’t put it back together yet
@@sheepdogman1 Its ok. He has a video.
I am just sharpening up my hammer right now...

Thanks 👍
I'd be having to refer back to the video to rebuilt the thing. Quite a few parts and bits and pieces there. It'll be nice when cleaned up.
Really easy to strip and clean up - Part 2 tomorrow!
