(the car was once an NA) so hoping this would go away I have carried on and it finally died on a dual carriageway, started with a jump but as soon as there is any power drain ie the steering it once again starts to fail... A royal pain in the bum?whitetrash wrote:A royal pain in the bum?
"B" pipe. Lowering the subframe an inch can help too.

^ definately the best way to do it. I took mine out when I was rooting around the engine bay and replacing the alternator belt

All arrows point to Alternator?
Has anyone changed one on the deck? Is it as I expect.
! it is a real pain my mate done mine.. ..lol...cam corners/silicone.Had the same prob and with mine, I noticed there is a bit of engine casting that the oil collected on when it's on it's way down to the alternator, a flat surface about 10mm square thats right over the alternators vent, an easy "at a glance" check to make sure you've sealed it all up again propperly as the drip really stands out as fresh oil...I would also order a new dizzy o-ring, chasing oil leaks around the engine bay is a head doo'er...best to be prepared.
