Re: Alternator

....the conclusion was the alternator was ok, but when the voltage regulator warmed up it stopped outputting correct voltage. So new voltage regulator and all good.

Re: Alternator

Thanks Jonny, I took my alternator out and had it checked and it was putting out 14v, the chap cleaned it up and saw 14.1 and good output. He asked about the voltage regulator, so I started Googling the voltage regulator and found and early 911s article that Marchal alternators should have Marchal v...

Where does my sticker go?

Hi All,

Ages ago I purchased a Porsche celebration stick 1969/70 - Marken Weltmesier. Many years later my 71s is finished and I am doing final touches! (once I fix the CV joint!) - where does this sticker go, and where do I get the 2.2 sticker that you see in a lot of cars?

Cheers

Roger
