I tried from the underneath but in the end removed from above after fan was removed. Cables are quite short. Ensure you get a denso and right capacity. I did twice as first one fitted was unbranded and didn't fix issue. Denso one went on no issues

Its an easy job from above around 20mins once you remove the viscous fanAndrew

But put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator for when you wiggle the alternator out of its hole… to stop the alternator catching it….
Don’t ask me how I know….

Brilliant , thanks all for the advice … 20 mins sounds ambitious given my age and lack of flexibility , skill etc 🙄

you will be surprised, a good 13mm ratchet spanner helps and don't forget to disconnect the battery or it gets a bit sparky.Andrew
