new member and URGENT help needed!!

[system7]

Hi , im a long time largo owner in the Greater Manchester area, 93 SX-G diesel, never really needed to go on forums after the initial glow of being an owner wore off.
However, I DO need urgent help now - I'm going abroad tomorrow, 15 April, and my alternator has packed in - wont charge the battery and driving with lights kills the battery dead, and all sorts of mad things start to happen: glowplug relay chattering, staying in 2nd gear etc.

Is there anyone in the greater manchester area with a Hitachi alternator, the one with a vacuum pump, that I can go and get now/today - Wigan alternators only stock Bosch and Lucas and reconditioning takes 24 hours 'if we have the parts'

please help!

Have you got a local Blueprint stockist?

Many of them get parts within a few hours of ordering.

Blueprint part numbers against 2.0 diesel Largo 1993:

ADN11107 (C22 chassis CA20S engine 60A)
ADN11130 (C22 chassis CA20S engine 70A)
ADN111502C (VW30 chassis CD20TI engine)

its possible vac pump on the back of alternator has leaked oil into alternator through seal may just need cleaning out and fitting new seal to vac pump
