Had a quick feel about now I've removed the bagpipes and I think I can do it without going underneath or even disturbing the LPG stuff (fingers crossed!). Can someone confirm whether it is 2 or 3 bolts that hold the alternator on please? Only working on feel but it seems to be 2 but I thought it was 3.

No need to get underneath. There's not enough room to get up there.

Move the expansion tank aside and the rear bolts you can just about get to by reaching round the back (stop sniggering at the back)  ;D. A socket on an extension is handy here. Alternator will slide out forwards after removing the intake duct, then take off the electrical connections.

As said on the other thread, I have a spare regulator I can put in the post if you have any trouble.

The part you need is a Bosch BR14-T3 Part no. F00M 145 257.

IIRC, it's secured by a couple of torx screws.

Has your number changed? I'll try to source a new one tomorrow am but might need yours if I can't get one... Due to leave site here on Wednesday so all a bit tight on time!

As for socket on extension... Got sockets but no extensions :'(

Number is as it's always been.  :y

Oh, and there are 2 bolts holding it on. Both are visible from the front of the alternator and are long bolts that run back through front and rear mounting lugs on the alternator and block. 15mm from memory, and there are 2 smaller bolts for the electrical connections.

All fixed. Thanks to all who commented and extra special thanks to that DTM Fella who talked some sense into me and told me to repair the alternator myself instead of replacing it (as it was only the regulator) and Kevin Wood who offered me one he had in stock and took it to work in case I couldn't get one delivered today.

I agree completely, Shackeng; if it weren't for the excellent help I've received from here, my beloved Mig would be baked bean tins by now!
