I have to warn you that I have no formal automotive training, and have just learned by breaking stuff. If you can learn anything from my mistakes then great, but you do so at your own risk!

The grey-silver beard shows your wisdom and quite suits you, anything like me though and it itches after a while and comes off 😀 but your right gives you something to scratch while in thought.

I've got yhe Aussie version of this car (2004 Holden Barina XC) and I'm in the process of replacing the alternator. This video has been very helpful, however I'm really struggling with dislodging the alternator. It looks like you have a lot more room to play with in the engine bay...

[@LarcsWorkshop]

Thanks, good luck sorting it out 🤞.

Expect to see 14-14.5 V, drop off after starting points to Alternator regulator failing, dry joint on rectifier plate or failing diodes possibly

Thanks Neil, that's some good information 👌

Did u take both cables off the battery?

[@LarcsWorkshop]

No, I just removed the ground cable and tucked it down out of the way.

You missed the process of tensioner

[@LarcsWorkshop]

The tensioner is spring loaded so sorts its own tension out.
