Hi, I have a g reg (1990) 1.8 clipper. I think I have a dead alternator. I just called a parts supplier and he couldn't tell me which one i need. Please can anyone help. Thank you.

Take fuse box out and give it a good soak in wd, clean as much as you can with toothbrush or soft wire tool before you pay out for another
Disconnect battery before you do any work.
See how it goes.
I am a maintenance freak and the fusebox in mine i check yearly, cleaning of dust and give it a good coat of wd40.
No issues with but there again there shouldn't be if i am maintaining it lol
Best wishes

trouble is though if it looks bad on the outside, its probably going to be worse inside :(

and i really wouldnt trust a fusebox that looks corroded, becasue you just cant see whats going on inside it. though you can split them if you're carefull so it may be worth a go to see if its salvagable. if not, you aint lost owt
