Yup, filled it with grinding paste :)

I keep a spare now and make a point of cleaning and greasing the sucker every time I go offroad. I would check the battery too though. have had them go bad from this particular source.

On my first Vit, I got through 2 recon alternators until I realised it was a dodgy wire under the box by the battery that was @ fault. I'd fit the alternator, put my volt meter on top of the fuse box to test the output & all was well, once I removed the meter, the connection was broken, thus no charge going into the battery!
Had me pulling  my hair out (what little I've got left) for a few days that did  :oops:

markyb:
if you can find the alternator with an external fan they seem to cope better,
they also have removable brush pack at the back which can be a quick fix as they just become jammed,

im not going to say how long mines been in the car as its bound to jink me lol.  but i do carry a aspare
