Sounds like a plan Rik ... any chance of getting Steve to come along and drop his driveshaft again (a classic moment in hillclimbs) :lol:

A starter here.

You should just get rid of the Alternator altogeather and strap a small generator to your roof to charge your batterys up :idea: Has to be ten times more effective than that nissan alternator :wink:

Shit, you won't believe it guys but its working now, and I haven't done anything to it. Kevin, I'm thinking we may have jinxed each other, I jinxed your locker, and you no sooner mentioned the alternator and 1 hr later bamn, all over man. Hey and thanks Adam. Great day though, specially pushing the comfort zone in Rik's back yard, was a little surprised at what an LSD can actually do when pushed. :lol: :lol:

Al,
know a guy up north with a Bighorn that used to go through a lot of alternators, he drilled a hole, and mounted a windscreen washer motor to it, so each time he went through crap, he'd spray it for a few seconds.
Worked a treat he reckoned.

Don't think it was the brushes as the dash lite did not come on as per usual. Did notice though when I put Adam's battery in the alternator lite didn't lite up with all the others as per normal. thinking it could be a diode. Funny thing is it all seems ok now, maybe a bit too wet :?:

Yea, reckon your alternator went out in sympathy with my front locker Al ... either that or I put a curse on it when I commented "seems like the new alternator is doing the bizz".

Checked all my diff studs last night - lotsa loose nuts. So have a week to drill and tap the rooted stud, then will locktight and torque every single frickin stud nut. Back for more next weekend :D

Enjoyed the pix and vids Rik - can never quite capture just how steep the decents and ascents truly are :shock:
