I found i had a broken wire from the alternator to the battery so i ran a new wire straight from the alternator-----(the nut terminal)(as theres too fittings on it)--- to the battery positive. It sorted mine out.

Yep the det alternator is a bit of a pain with the bigger inlet manifold above it and all the pipes.I had to change mine at the roadside in the pitch black with my cigerette lighter once and the rest by feel.it was in december and i couldnt even do it by feel by the end of it as i was numb. Really wasnt pleasent.I have a hate for changing s12 alternators for life now

Roscoe is pretty good with electrics etc. A trip to his would be better than going to norris in my opinion. You'd have your clutch and all sorts fixed in no time and be fed cups of tea aswell



Id be interested to know what clutch hydraulic piston Norris have put on your belhousing Maybe Paul can have a closer look.It may be a s13 or s14 one. My cylinder still needs bleading and i need to do my gearbox oil too.Its on my to do list along with everything else lol

Heh .... Wouldya believe - it was the bloody nut terminal! - The wire was on, but corroded to f*ck! - Chopped it back, re-attached, and a healthy 14.25 volts across the battery, and the car kept running when I'd removed the booster pack...

Cheers guys, I'm a lot happier now (and I didn't waste another £88 of my hard-earned on another needless alternator!)...

Now all I have to do before I can proceed with my mission to SG's is to bleed the clutch again ... (Pedal's on the floor, and can
t even pump it back to life, so it's gonna be another bleed job I guess - Will grab a new slave cylinder from Nissan if they're def. only £21!...

Nice one all who helped me!...
