Never taken one off, so don't know. But I'm sure your Haynes should explain how, even if it doesn't show pictures...

...and NO, it's not my car and I didn't take my engine out just to show you where the alternator is... in this site people go out of their way to help other Omega owners, but there is a limit to everything you know...   ;D

.......
I looked up alternator places in Wigan which where I am based and would you believe it that there is a company called Wigan Alternators.

Strange.  ;)
Do you know there's also Salford Van Hire in Salford and by strange coincidence we, in Bury have a Bury Motors?  ;)

@ Andy B, used to love seeing this sign on the M61 http://www.buryblackpuddings.co.uk/

It's my Birthday tomorrow and your help and been an early present, I feel a lot happier now than when I started this thread.

Cheers and I will keep you posted on my progress.

Ta, Red.

Hi All,

Can I just ask when I remove the battery to do this will I need any codes for anything when I reconnect it again? Such as the factory fitted radio etc.

Yes, radio, CD changer (if seperate). You will also need to reset electric windows and sunroof...

Hi All,

Just took the alternator off, but it doesn't look quite the same as the one shown in this thread: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1153772945

I cannot see any contacts on mine to clean.

I have some pictures I have taken but appears I don't have permission to attach them in this forum I will ask in the meantime and hopefully follow up with the pictures later.

 If after looking at the pictures you can advise any course of action I can do this before I put the alternator back again. I wouldn't want to take this out any more times than is necessay.

Thanks, Red.

Host the pictures somewhere else (eg www.photobucket.com) and link to them - we currently do not have the bandwidth of space to host pictures here...

Hi,

I have put the alternator back now.

Given the information in the post how sure can I be that this fault is being caused by the alternator?

I am only asking this because I dont want to get a reconditioned alternator only to find that is was something else.

If I can be fairly sure it is the alternator In will change it next weekend, if however I cannot be that sure I reckon it would be more cost effective to ask a mechanic to look at it first.

Cheers, Red.
