OK you part timers :rolleyes: there's a single self-tapping screw at the back of the unit holding the SAM in place. It's bluddy difficult to see but it's there. All in it's 3 T15 screws. Luckily I had a mate pop over who done a swap-out once upon a time. Check-out the PCB :eek:

How do I get this unit out? Anyone?

Nope. Sadly the unit must come out. Apart from 2 screws and some cables on the topside of the box most of the gubbins connecting the unit must be disconnected from the rear. WTF !! At this point it looks like I need to start with dismantling the exhaust and work my way forward. Half the car...

ah ha! Yes I'm on the OEM the car has only done 85,000 but the alternator is shot and the belt don't look too grand either. Yep, I have the Etype socket. The thing is I've been using a whimpy 1/4 wrench to loosen off the Etype 12mil. Ok I'll tighten those up again and go on the grovel for a 3/8...

Hi folks, it's been a while. Perhaps because my car has been doing well until now. My alternator has packed up which in its self isn't a problem. What I am struggling with is releasing the tention on the belt. Ive slackened everything still the belt is tight. I've loosened the star screws. Ive...
