Has anybody ever had a go at repairing an alternator??
My Ford Puma greeted me with a glowing battery light today, traced to a dead alternator.

It's not a problem if your windings are ok . All that's left is the regulator pack .. if your local to brum I can point you the way to a place that is very very good

I've repaired loads over the years along with starters and dynamos. Normally the armature and winding are Ok so it's a case of bearing, bushes and rectifier. You used to be able to get a rebuild kit for the common Lucas versions but haven't seen them for years.
To be honest I wouldn't bother anymore and would simply get a scrapyard or professionally reconditioned with 12 months guarantee as parts could cost alsmost as much.

Spent my lunch break at Looms today, what better way to spend a friday lunch?
£20 for an alternator (you get a fiver back if you take them your old one). I thought that was about 50% more than it should be, certainly 50% more than it would have been 5 years ago.
