Anyone have a good part number for the TD alternator?  I can't read the one I took out of my car.

so i decided to give it a go without taking off the inlet manifold.  off and on rain has been a PITA.  got the 2 mounting bolts off and the belt off....but was having trouble with the wires on the back.  thick red wire and thinner black wire going into black plastic that looks like a ?connector?  couldn't find a release latch and couldn't pull it out (though i didn't want to pull very hard) then it started to downpour on me.

also, when messing around with the wires i thought i felt a small shock.  kinda funny cuz it took me a few to figure out what that familiar feeling was  i have the battery completely uninstalled.....maybe i was just paranoid about the shock?  heard they are live wires but meh the shock brought back some memories haha

ps....i took a few pictures to post when i'm finished

Omega General Help / Alternator 2.5TD

*changed original subject title from "inlet/intake manifold"*

I have a '97 2.5 TD CD and was wondering if there are any major cautions when removing/reinstalling the inlet manifold?  http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1253127118/0 explains a little about inlet manifold removal but i don't want to bugger my car.  i plan on removing the alternator and trying to repair it before i buy a new one.  i have never done much wrench work under the hood but I work on jet aircraft so I have some maintenance skills.  thanks in advance!

Hi all!  Been reading this forum for a few months now and some really helpful information!  Thanks so much to all the people on here that make owning my Omega less stressful    

A little about myself...just moved to northern Italy in August and bought a 1997 Opel Omega 4dr Estate 2.5TD in September (2010).  No information about previous owners or how well they maintained the car, so I plan on sprucing the car up myself!
