    Default battery not charging looking at removing alternator

    Z30dt battery is going flat whilst driving used multimeter when idling its less than 12v.

    has anyone managed to change their alternator themselves without using a garage ramp?

    Vehicle : Vectra C Saloon( sadly died at age 20 due to a hart attack)

    Trim : SXI limited edition

    Engine : 2.0 16v DTI

    all you need is enough space to get under the car, so a good trolley jack and 2 axle stands are more than enough to sort it out. And they are right you need to remove all of that to get to it...
