If you were down here, you'd be out there like a shot. It's quite balmy here Andy. Rita has just gone to hang the washing out, wearing a short sleeved top.

I hope you and Jacqs are still able to get away. Good luck with the fitting.

Cheers,

Jock.

This is the essential tool from the kit I bought earlier in the thread on eBay for clutch pulleys

That's great, should be up and running by lunch time then.

What's that about freezing cold bright & sunny here, I'm in a short sleeved shirt & no heating on, but the is a bit of a gale blowing.

The weather isn't barmy here Lenny
We're snuggled down for Xmas now it seems

 

[Lenny HB]

I spoke too soon, temp has suddenly dropped and now peeing down.

and one on the alterator

 

[Techno]

Yes my old one had that too but it it was never connected by the installer
The new one doesn't have one

 

[Steve]

it is possible that had i fitted it then the alterator may have survivied but will never know. it get get very hot as the windings are burnt. I hope all now goes well for you and have a happy and safe trip.
PS thank-you for some of the must useful advice during the year.

I think it unlikely that a low power B2B would be the problem with or without an alternator temp sensor.
My original was 50 amp and the new one 60 amp which should be a doddle for a 110amp alternator.
The best solution when one finally fails is to go straight to 150amp if compatible.
MAE prices are gobsmackingly cheap

 

[Techno]

I've just bought a regulator pack for my existing alternator £15 . I'd like to try changing that first as it can be done in situ on mine and if it works I'll have a 110amp bosch for sale in working order.

Both 14mm nuts and one 8mm screw gains access to the regulator fixings

This is a web search image of a 3.0 Iveco WITHOUT aircon.
Replacement of the 6 rib drive belt is straightforwards after taking tension off the belt at the tensioner pulley.
If Aircon is fitted the crankshaft will carry a double pulley and the 4 rib stretch belt for the compressor will be nearest and impede removal of the alternator belt.

Not quite as bad as the Discovery then

Only in that its all barely an inch away from the chassis rails

Reading this thread has reminded me why I, despite serving my time as an apprentice mechanic at Joseph Cockshoots, Bellevue Works, Manchester, now take my van to Rui's garage and let his lads lie around under it getting their hands dirty...

Yep most are like that . My car is but only takes a few seconds to remove the A/C belt.

Only in that its all barely an inch away from the chassis rails

& yes car is same to the extent that KIA state " drop engine, gearbox on subframe" to do the cam belt . The A/C belt is below the chassis rails but the auxiliary belt is a remove wheel, inner splash panel,lower panel & then with spanner on the auto-tensioner nut it is all done by feel ,basically.

I've still not gotten around to fixing this yet
The weather has either been wintry or I've had more pressing things to do
First wind rain and snow free day and it may get sorted

Careful Andy, the new alternator will soon be out of warranty before it gets fitted.

Weather wise, down this way you could have fitted a dozen at least.

Cheers,

Jock.

The Alternator temp sensor isn't required on motorhome installations. If the B2B was fitted on a boat down in a engine room with little or no air flow it should be fitted

Underneath a modern motorhome there is no need as there is ample cooling for the alternator

We were told this years ago by Charles Sterling when we enquired if it was acceptable to extend the sensor and told not to bother

Today I thought now or never , very cold but sunny
I have swapped the regulator and it is now working but my fingers are frozen
Found heki is leaking at same time

I'm going to save the new alternator for future
So effectively under £20 cure and about 30 minutes

My b2b is happily running in stage 2 absorption mode

 

[Techno]

This is the regulator I sourced on ebay
