Last time all I wanted was a pair of brushes, but I had to buy the regulator as well as it was all one part. As you can get exchange units, the parts must be available. Certainly the fault you describe points to the regulator, but it "could" just be a broken wire in the sensing feed to the reg. which would possibly be inside the unit. >> have checked connections to alternator and have changed them anyway >> its kicking out 17 volts at idle and 19 volts at 2500 rpm [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > just be a broken wire in the sensing feed to the reg. which would possibly > be inside the unit. its a valeo >> have checked connections to alternator and have changed them anyway >> its kicking out 17 volts at idle and 19 volts at 2500 rpm [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > just be a broken wire in the sensing feed to the reg. which would possibly > be inside the unit. looks to me like you describe it the unit comes off the side with the brushes attached problem i have is finding a dealer for the regulator > looks to me like you describe it > the unit comes off the side with the brushes attached > problem i have is finding a dealer for the regulator Don't know where you are, but have you looked in your local Yellow Pages under Car Electrics. Just done a search, http://www.btinternet.com/~volkzpartz/starters.htm http://www.2cvcity.co.uk/parts.html And on the GSF forum, I found this. Valeo Alternator reg. GSF # 91035 £19.00 + vat URL http://www.gsfcarparts.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1088 I think this might be the VW section, but Valeo parts are most likely interchangable > http://www.2cvcity.co.uk/parts.html > And on the GSF forum, I found this. > Valeo Alternator reg.
