I think the bearings are goosed on the alternator, I've took the belt back off and the pulley on the alternator when I spin it with my hand it keeps getting really stiff so I can't spin it no more, I've got a alternator of a 1.1 saxo what works fine, but will that fit the vtr? I know the wires are different the 1.1 wires there's 2, one is a thick wire and 1 is a thin wire both with metal eyes on the ends to connect to the alternator but on the vtr there is a thick wire with eye on then there's 2 thin wires what go onto a small plug which plugs into the alternator, and could I cut that plug off and put an eye ring onto the end so that it connects to the 1.1 alternator? Hope this makes sense lol
