Re: Alternator bolt

thanks ian, have got that, but bolts 7 and 10 have a water pipe running in front of them so cannot get a spanner on, the bracket looks like it has ruptured this pipe, but don't want to take it off in case i can't get a new one, its the pipe that has the dipstick bracket attached to it. Thanks again...
