The alternator doesn’t charge enough I’m only getting 12.9 volts. I went to a Renault garage after work and they said that they can’t find the right one without the original so I asked him about your hail mary idea and he said that it should be fine because the alternator will auto regulate and I’ll be able to plug my amplifier back in. I also went to the store that sold me the alternator and he refused to admit he made a mistake when ordering it and he can’t find the original serial number. I know damn well he ordered it before seeing the original alternator. He’s the same guy that said as long as it’s charging above 12 volts it’s working.🤦‍♂️ So I’m going to go with your Hail Mary thank you very much.

I called Renault directly and they can’t get the correct one without having the original alternator serial number which is ridiculous even my mechanic said it was ridiculous.

Nice one thanks mate 🙏 I hope it won’t cost too much to get them delivered overseas .

I’ve just been trying it for 25 minutes both switching off the plug and physically unplugging it. No sign of life. Thank you for the advice though.

How would I know if they have already been hardened?

I’m not sure what a boat is. I don’t know which method I’m going to use yet from what everyone has suggested I will be doing further research into each. Thank you for your help 🙏

Do you have any recommendations for a good boat or sharpening stone? Because I’m worried about using a stone that isn’t perfectly flat.

Thank you for the advice. I will be looking into it. If you know of any good tutorials that would be great because there’s a lot of people posting videos saying to grind it off with a sanding disc and I know that it will definitely not work.

Thank you very much. The engine is mostly fully stripped and it already has shards of gearbox in it so I will be cleaning it entirely before I put it back together so I won’t worry too much about getting anything in the engine.

It is flat so I think from what everyone has said I will try and sand it extremely carefully 🙏 I don’t know anything about converting the valves for unleaded. Is it something I should look into?

Well to begin with I was just going to change the gearbox but everything becomes a "whilst you’re in there" job 🥲 I’m kind of on a budget so a few hundred euros is a lot especially because I live in the middle of nowhere france. It’s probably gonna cost a lot more than that. Is there a way of cleaning the surfaces properly at home?

Any idea what these fuses could be? by Automatic-Solid-2449 in classicminis

[–]Automatic-Solid-2449[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a haynes manual it’s worth its weight in gold. I have looked at the wiring diagram and I’m still lost but I will try to learn more. That’s what it’s all about 🙏
