Had to call the AA out this morning, bit of a rubbish reason but I didn't have the time to investigate myself. The boot lid would not lock, turns out, after some investigation that the closing solenoid is defective. Had a look at the Eurospares website but the item is not mentioned, after a chat with aforementioned company, they can't find it either and are getting back to me. So, while I wait their call, does anyone know what the part number is, where I can get a new one.?? The offending item fits in the boot lid.
Secondly, whilst the AA man was doing his bit, I asked if we could check the alternator as well, turns out that is on its way out too. Brand new battery fitted last month, however the Amps is very low, currently at 16 Amps with full load, should be around 60-70 Amps. So, Eurospares offered me a replacement off a car, no guarantee, no warranty, for £159.....it is probably off an Old 3200 so will be at least 17 years old. Anyone know a good site for reconditioned alternators. All help much appreciated.
Kind Regards
