Replaced the alternator.
The front grille does not remove so access is from above.
It is really aggravatingly difficult to get to the bottom adjusted bolt
Grr !

I am thankful he had the puncture a few yards for home.Nigel(no top)Sykes wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 19:40 They can’t be that good if he didn’t see the thorns
Also that we discovered that the 13 year old tires are . . . well basically 'rotten'.
Dry rot by sun?

Re: Alternator
Mine are the same. They have miles of tread depth left but the sidewalls are all splitting. I can't risk hard cornering until I replace them. My mechanic reckons its a wonder they hold air.

Re: Alternator
Let me see if I’ve got this right.
You’ve got a moke
But you’ve got a moke that doesn’t like corners
There’s something wrong here…….very wrong

Re: Alternator
Remember that tires are the only thing of the Mini Moke touching the road.
My spare was never used, but in the interests of my and my family's safety I replaced all of them . . . well it is being done as I type.
How did it pass the MOT ?

Re: Alternator
MOT?
Vehicle safety is the owner's responsibilty. If said owner is too tight-arsed to replace the knackered tyres in the Moke that he drives his children around in, that's his fault.
My spare tyre has never been used either. On that basis I will only replace the four that I do use.

Re: Alternator
The annual MOT(ministry Of Transport) / Govt Inspection here is horn, mileage, headlights (full beam and dipped), reverse light, hand/emergency brake, brakes(well you stopped when you drove in), indicators, rear number plate light and wipers.Tim wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 6:45 MOT?

Appreciate your comment "If said owner is too tight-arsed to replace the knackered tyres in the Moke that he drives his children around in, that's his fault."
Thankfully I am not that 'tight-arsed', as I value my, my children's and my passenger's lives way too much.
You can't spend it 6'0" under.
That said I must remember to put the jack back in the Mini Moke.
