Right after 4 hours of hell, sliced hands etc I have managed to fit yes
Just one coolant hose
To cut a long storey short the one I managed to fit was easy but... The clip that was holding it in place snapped so spent 4 hours trying to pri it of.
I have found where I need to change the other hoses but yes the alternator does need to come of. Unfortuanlty I attempted this but gave up as I knew it would be hassle getting it back on... One problem with it though it I can't get one of the bolts back in
. The other 2 are keeping it secure for now but going to have the rest done by the garage. Does anyone know where I can find where to put this hose
