No these are text newsgroups, hence no binaries in the name of the group
anywhere, certain news servers will automatically strip any attachments
to a posting.

Dave, myself and others in this group use such servers. If you want
people in this group to see images post links either to a site with the
image it host it in your own domain area

Sorry not trying to be net cop just advising why it didn't (and
shouldn't) work.

Oh yes, reconnect it. Take a bit of care to engage the inner square section
drive - it's all a bit of a feel though behind there. The smaller the hands
the better really. The cable shaft drives a disc that spins in a magnetic field
and generates a bit of current, which moves the needle round against a
hair-spring. the faster it spins, the more current and the further the needle
moves across the dial.

The only electrical connection in the speedo is the lights - there's no power
connected to the speed or mileage measuring part of the device at all.

Your 'new' alternator working proves the rest of your parts are fine.

The only problem your stereo might cause is in running the battery down - and it
would need to be lots of Watts. I'm assuming you have more respect for your
hearing.

On that note dave would you reccomend re-connecting my speedo cable up then.
I assumed the battery charge lamp since its in the same circuit ( or same
dash cluster) that there was a possibility of the sticky speedo needle
causing it. Maybe not. Im just speculating. The car stereo wouldnt have
anything to do with it would it? If there was a problem with the car stereo
in any way electrical then the fuse would go puting the stereo and the
interior light off wouldnt it? I have read since posting about this that the
blue wire wears away from the diode/windings inside the alternator and some
people have been succesfull in pushing the wire in when testing. tbh its a
pain in the ass and a real time waster messing about with intermittent
faults especially electrical ones on alternators. This is also not a good
time of year to put money out for parts either lol. Spent the morning
driving around today giving it another good run. Good ole scrappy alternator
doing its job. Since its a bosch i imagine its a bit more reliable than any
cut price re-cons. You can let me know ur input on th espeedo thing dave.
Cheers.

Jon B, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. No-one posted a binary,
least of all me. Essexgirl posted an E-bay URL on the second attempt.
I just pointed out there was no photo - didn't try posting one.

It's very hard sometimes to work out who posted what without looking up archives
or counting the ''s but be assured I wouldn't post binaries anyway - I've been
on here too many years to make that mistake. It wouldn't be such a problem
these days with broadband, but it was a pain when on dial-up at 28kbps there was
a 250KB picture to download as the pennies clicked up on the bill.

Don't worry Dave I didn't think you'd posted one, but I thought with
Essex girls reply to your post saying no picture that maybe a picture
had been stripped.

I specifically use a newsreader that supports neither those nor html,
and even though I have BB 90% of the time I'm regularly on the mobile
too whilst on the road.
