General Car Chat / alternator help

« on: 27 February 2010, 23:47:19 »

Small problem started yesterday miggy a wee bit dodgy when starting and tonight when it was dark noticed that the battery light was flickering when I was driving. I had this problem once before on another older car and am I right in thinking it was a fault with the diodes on the alternator. If so has anyone got any idea what alternator is in my miggy apparently there is 3 with different voltages. its a 2003 2.2 cd auto.

General Discussion Area / Gearbox removal

« on: 19 April 2011, 17:30:32 »

How would you go about removing a gearbox only having a set of axle stands and a trolley jack. Should I buy another set and jack up the full car. Any ideas what to use with the trolley jack to take the weight of the box for lowering. Only have a driveway to work no fancy pits. Or should I not even attempt it.?
