Regulator / Rectifier Sorry

Hi All,

Apologies I guess many think this has been done to death!!

Looks like I have the classic reg/rect failure, engine management light on, flat battery no charge etc.

The multi plug on mine looks as if it has welded itself together (I assume all you are supposed to do is squeeze the tang on the side of the block and pull?)

Bit concerned that many appear to have had replacement looms under warrantee, I assume this is due to the build up of heat from the bad connections causing damage to the wire?

Has anyone managed to get away with just cleaning the contacts up and resealing?

Should have vaselened it all up when it was new like the smart guys!!

Full dealer service history so will speak to them to see if they will do anything as it's a known problem but in the meantime any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Adrian.
