Can't say to much about that....

Very generous with his time and he does work in the right industry. :D

And it was stinking hot last Saturday afternoon. [bigsad]

That certainly explains the apparent but unlikely coincidence of 2 dead regulators including one that had been working when removed.

Don't worry , no one feels dumber than me , but in all fairness the plug housing is broken and whereas normally with the full housing you can't put the plug on the wrong way around , but with the broken housing it was possible.

If Dale was stuck and needed the car I would have driven back and looked at it and we would have picked it, but he was getting his alternator checked and a 65km round trip was easier when we were going to do the swap than doing it and coming back a couple days later.

It's actually a good lesson , it is possible to put the plug on the wrong way around even tho the pins are offset if the plug housing is brittle and damaged.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :p:p
