check the wiring going into the alternator, mine became brittle and needed replacing as it wasnt charging properly. it was inside the connector it had snapped

did you buy the alternator from me (think day before christmas eve)?
if so either bring the car down to me and il take a look for you, or if you can trace no wiring or connector faults, then i have to assume that the alternator i sold you is also a duff one:oops: it is possible, as not all cars are running when i get them in!
also was the battery dasconnected when you fitted the new one?
if you can bring it back i will either sort you another one out or give you your wedge back, cant5 be fairer than that can i!
