    Rather than adding a new post with photos, I've edited my previous post with photos.

    One lesson learned - 10mm spanner (to undo battery terminal) and a torx bit to fit the megafuse is a *really* good idea to take with you on trips.

    I had the positive terminal erode due to a faulty battery post leaking acid, I priced the OE one and it included the mega fuse and cable to the alternator $465!

    Got one off a LR wreaker complete for $65.

    The workshop manual has very specific instructions regarding the angle of the bracket on the starter motor bolt to ensure that the bracket and cable cannot rub on anything. I suspect that the angle wasn't properly set or the bracket was bent when last R&R'd.

    I was told it was the alternator end - not the starter. But yeah, the alternator was replaced in about March last year.

    It's good to know that the alternator section of the cable is heavy enough to blow the mega-fuse before it melts the insulation and starts a fire..
