    question,,, where did you mount it, I was thinking the kick panel in the
    front passenger foot well.
    TD I mounted it on the cargo barrier on the opposite side to the passenger compartment. Its getting busy with all the other gear, but will keep the VASS engineer happy when engineering comes around again.

    Picked up an OEM Hitachi replacement alternator for Mrs MB’s 19 year old GU so far faithful wagoon.

    All seems ready for plug and play install although just noticed slightly different codes on stickers.


    Still both 12V - 100A so here’s hoping Hitachi just updated year models ‘A’ & ‘G’ or other warehousing special needs.

    FWIW: If any wankers like me out there are suffering from diagnosed limp wrist syndrome and need two hands to wrench one tiny spanner, this works a treat, fair dinkum!


    The ‘S’ hook on the little ratchet strap simply lowered behind wedges itself against the block and cantilevers the alternator for tension clicky’s

    Couldn’t be OEM happier for our family needs, TBH sick to death of mucking around with high performance aftermarket gear on other twucks!

    Wagoon was charged via 240v for around a week to bring the old Optima back to life from low 7V getting the girls home alone at night.
    2 days left to settle off charge to see result.



    A double glow and no diesel revs alternator tickle up for starters.



    Brought it up to 950rpm ish tickle.



    Brought it up to 1,500rpm ish.



    Dropped it back down to idle again now that its giggling after tickles :-)

    @MB you might be interested in this...
    Wired up this voltage display on the main battery. I'll do another one for the second battery when I have a chance.
    I already have a dual voltage gauge on the A pillar but this will be good when parked or charging off solar.
    Total cost only $5 for the LCD display and switch. Used some recycled aluminium and bolts.

    Worked out my total fuel consumption once and for all.

    First pic is on petrol, second on gas.

    Petrol I ran down till I was on the empty line, which left me with about 25L in the tank.

    Gas was completely empty.

    Add a jerry can and 800km shouldn't be a problem.

    Cars booked in for a few things one being to get it to run better on petrol. It's ok once it's up and runing, but after 3000rpm it really comes alive. Tappets haven't adjusted for a while so that should get the figures better.

    Removed shims from LH swivel hub, got rid of about 80% of my death wobbles.
