Save the trees, wipe your arse with a Cosworth

the time has come for my Si





to have its starter and alternator replaced

i made a start on it today after finding out that my starter was the cause of my starting issues!

i had it tested at zetec-s4's work and they found that the alternator wasn't to healthy

so i decided to replace both with new/refurbed ones

old Vs new



old starter removed



new starter fitted



removed alt



old alt



now at this stage i was doing quite well, i then went to check my new alt and found that they had supplied me with the wrong one, halfords for you

i gave them my reg number, but on further investigation we discovered that they had the wrong part number for the 1.6 Si's alt

in total i think i've spent near on £300(without returning my old ones to get back surcharges)

i had to order an RS1800 alt as that was the only other zetec engined fiesta the guy could find

hopefully it will be delivered on monday, then i can continue its getting closer to becoming a month since i last drove my car


other than that i'm cutting it very fine for my MOT on the 15th of feb

going to collect another battery from my good friend mr boost mad cheers alex

shall post up when i have finished

Im so proud of you, you did it all yourself

hehe!

cheers for the comments guys

to be fair with me everything takes 10x as long and seems 10x harder

but the alt came off quite easily and wasn't too bad to get to , i think i could have it back on in 25mins max and then spend the next 7hrs fiddling with the aux belt

hehe well glad to hear it wasnt to much of a pig to do ahhh im sure the aux belt will go on fine lol
