[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8694656, member: 678581"] An Astra? Cool hot hatch! I understand that its going to be a PITA, but know that you'll probably continue seeing cutouts until that is resolved. Another thing, pick up a Haynes manual/shop manual for that Astra and double check any other major grounds/earths your vehicle has. Primarily the Battery grounds/earth, make sure you're using a copper lug on the end of your earths, on a non-painted area of the car that are clean. Wiring should be OFC or pure copper. May want to post over here as these are all the Vauxhall owners and may have more specific experience with that platform: [URL]https://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/[/URL] Also I'd call these guys and ask them 1. Do they offer HO Alts for your VXR or 2. If they don't can they recommend someone in the UK who produces HO Alts that you can order from. - [URL]https://www.westlancsautoelectrics.co.uk/[/URL] C'mon now! I've seen Top Gear, I know you Brits are a resourceful lot! I found all these resources from California, I know you can find more living there! :cool: [/QUOTE]
