Hello, thank you for your very helpful information regarding my GV problem; I am not techie myself, but I have someone coming over to help who will find inside knowledge very useful. Meanwhile, while the vehicle is sitting there doing nothing I have come up with a few iseas of things to do with a dead GV:- * as a gym. Rowing machines are ugly, cluttery things, but you could fit one in the back of the GV and do your daily Putney Bridge to Mortlake stint without causing a ripple. *As an office. Walking to work has never been easier. You arrive exercised, hang the coat, unpack the briefcase and get a coffee on to revive you after the commute. Sit back and sip while you think about starting work. *as a planter. Nasturtiums would look good, and as you won't be needing the engine anymore, the bay could be adapted for growing toms. * As an escape pod from political mayhem, be prepared for a long stay (at least 10 years.) * as a survivalist food stash, for the inevitable collapse of civilisation. There is enough room for a year or more of beans, chocolate digestives and jam doughnuts, and you can lock up against the zombie hordes. Thanks.

At the end of last summer I bought a 2007 GV LTD XS AUTO with 38000 credible miles on the clock, for £3750. It is a wheelchair accessible vehicle, and typically for that sort of car, it has covered very few miles since purchase. Last week I was driving after dark, and when I went to full beam, it was instant dead city. The lights had been getting dimmer, so it is likely to be the alternator, the replacement for which is £350 at my factors. Too much. I decided to look at the brushes, but cannot remove the electrical connector from the right hand side, but suspect it is something to do with the red tab. Advice would be appreciated. The tab seems to be immovable. More worrying is the fact that a fresh battery does not even give dash lights. What can have happened? The car also has a battery drain of 1.74 A. which I was proceeding to fix with a remote switch isolator and in cab LED I might be interested in a good second hand alternator; does anyone have one to sell?. Thanks
