If I'd actually read this thread (I ignored it and didn't look at who posted it as I figured it'd be a simple question already answered) I'd have said you were welcome to stop in on your way back for a top-up..

But I didn't. So you weren't.  :P ;D
See, I said leave him stranded...  (as long as Mrs CG wasn't with him, as she'd whollop me)

she was, and I just showed her your post. Just to make sure. :)

My LPG setup was working perfectly until everything else gave up when my alternator packed in. :-\

Picked up new alternator today, exchange job on tc from vx. Removed the old one. What a battle that is, have vx never heard of captive nuts?

Anyway, offer up the new one, and notice the black fittings on the reverse are different.
Rung vx, "oh it's definitely the right part sir"

Altogether now "OH NO IT ISN'T"


Connectors are in a different position, and the large spade connector on the loom will not physically fit between the mouldings. :(

I may be wrong, but is that just the earlier style of alternator? (the more reliable one) :-X

I think I'd have persuaded it into place, myself. ::)

Connectors are reversed position, give or take. Loom wasn't long enough, spade connector too wide, forcing may have cracked the casing.

The metal body looked correct though.

OK. Probably best to return it before breaking it. ;)

Remember I have one if swapping it for correct goes badly. :y

Thanks Kev, it may come to that if the next new one is the same. :y

I think it will be, when ordering, the parts guy said they didn't have any refurbed ones,  only 15 new ones in stock. :-\

No, report to moderator button, pressed. Although that would be a fun game, if that's the cause. ;D
