Hi All,

Looks like I may have found a decent forum, only hassle is you are there and I am here hehehe

I own a Ford Ikon 1.6 LX with a Rocam motor.

Reason for joining is I am looking for a guide to replace the alternator.

So any forumites that can point this noob in the right direction, it would be highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Dave

    Here is a google pic I saved, as I don't have photos of the actual vehicle...

    Hope it helps?

    Basically a standard "Bantam" based vehicle with a 1.6 Rocam motor.

    Just looking for a user-friendly guide to replacing the generator/alternator if there is such a thing. I have replaced them on other vehicles so am not a total idiot but in saying that, know that with some vehicles there are little things that are good to know...

    Cheers to all for the welcome!

    ah ok, that is like the front end of our Fiesta, and seems to be the saloon version.
