Yar, that was it, not being able to spot the fractures Great, in that case a 3 pin sumitomo hx, superseal or wetherseal should do it then
(I'm no electrical engineer but) when the wire connection is knackered and hanging off like that you are trying to force a whole load of electricity through too small a wire. It's like putting a hose worth of water through a straw, except instead of busting it open it gets hot and burns out.
I take it that it doesn't matter which wire connects to the other , if I were to solder/connect them together after cutting the offending plug off?? Or should I mark or tape them up with different coloured tape to keep the corresponding wires in order ?? chz
The three yellow wires from the alternator all all the same. There is no need to distinguish which is which, provided they connect to the right three terminals on the Regulator/Rectifier.
