Thanks for all your help, however being a Hotel & Hospitality Man and not a great engineer, could you try to explain how I change the diodes?! How do they look?
I used a lubricant spray (5-56) to wipe all the connectors in the alternator can it have short circuit there some where ? My oil pressure sender is broken, just found a replacement, can that have something to do with it ? I have put it back temporarily and the gauge went to the top...a small cable (red) was sticking out...
But the car started fine after I put back the alternator, fan and the belt and then suddenly died....
I have a SEV Marchal Alternator......
Thanks for all help and I must say this is a great site with great members!!
