i have the original altenator too

i might try and get the pully off it and put some washers or sumthing to push it out more.

what hose goes on this i cant see on the pictures of your engine bay.....

thats a bugger, measure the alternator from back to front i and i will measure mine if ya like see if its the alternator thats different, if its just the alternator pulley on the alternator i got a spare one of them too lol

its the 1.2 1 i have on it now..... the original c16xe one made it sit even further back...

i'll send you on a cheque for the lid piece anyways...

its probably the actual alternator bracket, did ya use the 1.2 one or C16XE one, i have a spare, i didnt find out how much to post the lid of the air box but send us a tenner and i could send ya the lid and an alternator bracket if ya need one

using that connector^^^^......is presuming u are using rubber/plastic fuel line...rather than copper piping

best way to join fuel lines is to use conectors......and jubilee clips

connectors look like this:



but there all straiight rather than being a t-piece:wave:

alright chap i'll give it a try in the morning...:thumbs:


anyone got a solution to the altenator problem?

also whats the best way to join fuel lines?

the fuel pump shud just turn side to side.....like wiggle it...and pull up.....it is not bolted to anything........:wave:

yeh i got that far but could get the plastic part thats actually emersed in fuel out....

oh and the fact the tank is brimed to the top with fuel doesnt help:o

actually the the little jobs that i thought would be easy have turned out ot be the hard ones:lol:

go under your back seat......tjher will be a large black plastic cap.......this turns anti clockwise to come out and oppsite to go back in......u need a large flat bladed screw driver and tilt the screw-driver......and hit it with the palm of your hands.....so to turn the large plastic cap.......and under that cap is your fuel pump.......it will be lcoated in the fuel tank by 2 or 3 little tabs.......just wiggle the fuel pump and it will come out:wave:

my car this morning....


my car this evening....


right questions questions.......

when i swaped the altenator over from the 1.2 8v its sits about 4-5 mm back so the cracnk pully and the altenator pully are not in line.... any idea's on the best way around this...

and how do ya get the cnuting fuel pump out!:mad:

more questions to follow.
