[alternator wiring]

I'd just like to say thanks to you Chris, you really simplified this for me. Now I have an issue with the OS read indicator to sort out tomorrow and I should be able to go road testing whilst there's still some summer left!

So I attached these two cables to the new alternator. The car starts fine. Got rid of the loop cable and then left with the one thin brown cable, which I believe isn't necessary, that's right, yes?

Thank you for this... I will do this as soon as my new connector arrives. Many thanks for the help. I'll let you know if it works.

This is a really useful thread, thanks. However, I'm still having some trouble understanding when I look at what I have to work with on my GT6 MK3. I am chaning my alternator. My new one is what looks like European Terms, upgrading from the standard terms - as per your kindly posted wiring diagram, thanks Chris.

However, it seems I've got more than three wires, and I'm not sure which is which. Remember I'm a newbie please guys. Electrics always scare me a little to be honest. 

 

I would really appreciate any help at all. I ordered one of the plugs you see in the pictures. I suppose what I'm asking is which three cables do I put in them, and what do I do with what's left over?
