orite mate thnz for that, but think i might have sorted 1, motorquip have got a unit that all numbers match up to and same with amp num, but have had to swap pulleys over as it was a single v belt on the new unit, did you have this trouble or did yours come with correct pulley,

has any 1 els done this befor does it work any info cheers

No mine came with the single v belt pulley as well, it was an absolute bugger to get off, i honestly don't know how they got it on that tight. I had it in a vice, the bolt heated with a blowtorch and a massive pair of stilsons on it, it came off eventually! I'm sure it would be much easier with an airgun.

Other than that its a straight off straight on job. The terminal locations were different on mine but that wasn't a big deal really.
