Even a split in the 'hose from hell' is unlikely to stop you dead and is definitely not a roadside job anyway, it's not even a repair you're likely to get done anywhere in the bush. Alternator can...

It's about risk mitigation. Some people don't worry, others prefer to take preventative measures. There have been enough cases of catastrophic alternator failure to make it worth some attention and...

Russell W, a hundred things can go wrong with ANY car, I don't know how old yours is but I think carrying a spare alternator for such a trip is cheap insurance. I went one step further and just...

If FCA are doing this then it is minor but still inadequate progress. As alternator failures appear to occur without warning we have read accounts of drivers narrowly averting potentially disastrous...

And the old HR I had with a ram air-heater, no electric fan (geez, I'd forgotten all about it). And the car with vacuum operated wipers....oh stop it, this is way too much nostalgia!

I have known it happen in other late model cars. The last one was in friend's Astra, alt went after about 3yrs, very low mileage. I think manufacturers have just loaded more and more electronic gear...

Indeed, they should have been built with a unit robust enough to cope with 'normal' use (whatever that is) of the GC's standard equipment. I'm sure Denso had the capability of building one.

Not that hard really. When 'out there' don't overload the system. I turn off anything I'm not using and have no bolt-on stuff to gobble power. I think of all the car's inbuilt gadgets and...

I did email FCA at the time explaining what I'd done and why. The reply was basically "hold onto your receipt in case a recall is issued for the CRD". Not really holding out much hope, but if a...

Last year I replaced my 2013 alternator with an after market Jaylec unit as a precautionary measure (especially as I tow a caravan). I just felt that failure of the original would be imminent. When I...

Agree. 5 Yrs is about as far as the battery can be relied upon.
