Ok, got it all back together and without doubt, the most mongrel job Ive done for years.
To top it off, now there is no charge from the alternator. Belt isnt slipping, but battery light illuminated, and no charge on the multimeter. Battery was charged fully over night.
I did spark the alternator once when tightening it back up. ( have never had to disconnect a battery when tightening belts before. MGTF lesson learnt)
Question: is there an alternator fuse?
If its fried, what exactly fails on the alternator as its mechanical,spins and generates current. I cant see what would fail?
Thanks every one, looks like its off to the specialists.
