2.6/3.2 can be fitted with either 120 or 140amp but for reliability the 140 is shite

Rob - I take it from this you mean dont bother with the 140A :o

I would have thought the other way round :-\ 

Thanks for the info though :y, hopefully my neighbour Albs will have a working one ;)

140amp regulator is prone to failure whereas the 120 is pretty much bulletproof.
