Hi guys, Another problem :facepalm: Had the ABS and ESP lights come up tonight, along with the ESP System fault message after starting car up at work and having it run whilst I put my stuff in (car has been sitting since Monday in the yard). Turned car off, plugged reader in and the P0500...

Hi, I have changed my alternator today, taking off airbox, maf, inlet plenum etc. I put everything back together today and it ran very lump like it was cutting out the fuel or something, the car had a very strong smell of petrol too. I checked the MAF sensor is definitely plugged in and looks...

Morning all, Can anyone identify this plug on the alternator? What is it for, should there be 3 wires and where could i get a new run of wiring? Replacing my cold-side boost hose the other day i noticed there is only one wire running into it, but it looks like there should be 3 and 2 have...

Hi everyone, just posting on here for information just in case anyone ever has a similar problem.

My mate has changed the alternator over as had the whinning noise and battery light on. The whine has gone but the battery light comes on after about 20 seconds. Seems to run fine. I have also removed the symposer and Bailey DV. Any idea's? Could the battery be faulty too?

Just a warning there is a 'bad batch' of alternators which are the same as the ones supplied by ford themselves, so the Ford dealers may well have some too, there has been a product recall on this as of Friday just gone (06/07/2012 - but this is only when the suppliers to the garage I took mine...
