Quick update..took vehicle to local indie Wayne Gates in Harrow..service exchange Alternator required..like to say Terry was very helpful and returned my calls over the Christmas time..price was good and an indie to recommend..thanks to all for your replys

Had a good look around..not a lot of room to even see the Alternator let alone try to pull Regulator Brushes out..seems lots of aux parts need to be removed to actually gain access to the Alternator mounting bolts.

how to change the automatic gearbox oil and flush on a 722.6 box I took my car to PCS last week for Transmission oil change and Brake repairs. The Transmission does change more smoothly and I now have piece of mind that its been done and more importantly its been done "PROPERLY".

Took my car down to the guys at PCS for Transmission Oil change and Brake repairs. Very impressed with the professional atitude shown by all the guys there. Definately an Indie to recomend.:thumb:
