At least it'll show whether it's the tacho or alternator at fault. It'll probably not read correctly though, different sized pulleys.Geoff and Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766994382229800306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-42468435313315890292019-06-08T20:41:07.486+01:002019-06-08T20:41:07.486+01:00Before you order a new one check out eBay.

They're made in China, of course, but are doing the job.Geoff and Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766994382229800306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-61346116916820955622019-06-08T17:12:49.987+01:002019-06-08T17:12:49.987+01:00Hi Geoff, that was my first check.

When the new one was fitted, I ty-wrapped the wire to the alternator case to reduce the vibration as it is only a soldered end. It is still intact so I thought I would give the other end a check, just in case. I will be ordering a new alternator on Monday. I will probably buy a couple of bearing pullers so that I can strip the old one down.<br />GeorgeCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-41381121597542817062019-06-07T20:06:50.625+01:002019-06-07T20:06:50.625+01:00Hi both.
