Nice one cheers Paul. For reference the focus ones mainly spray just above the wipers. A fraction more towards centre and they'd be spot on for coverage.

I'm in Norfolk, alternator can come from a engine with aircon as long it has coupling for Shaft assembly & not a pulley. :wink:

If they have one available let me know & we will work something out.

Makes sense, a lot of glow plugs do go short circuit when they fail :(

How do you test them? Multimeter? If so what setting as I've never tested mine but never had any problems starting even when the wire had melted through.
