Order placed yesterday, shiny new alternator delivered today. Cheers Steve.
Incidently, in the knowledge that the one fitted was actually a Lucas, and was noisy, it was perhaps the quickest diagnosis ever...
SWMBO: "Hmm, what's that burning smell?"
Me: "That'll be the alternator..."
Car: "Ping" "Parkbrake fault"
Me: "Yep, alternator!"

Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: Check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times clockwise around your car chanting:" Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant.."
Ahh, so that explains the tense atmosphere in the chicken house last night. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC
