After the Wiamak trip the alternator decided to give up the ghost :cry:

so I thought it was about time I gave it a clean up,

Very dirty alternator!

Once the back was off I could see why it stopped working, it was full of Waimak!!

The O -Ring on the vacuum pump that caused matts (4x4boy) 2.8 to run out of oil and seize up

A local Mu owner, sick of repeatedly doing this very job, left his alt in situ for the vaccum pump, but fitted another alt in place of his air cond pump to get it up out of harms way
