Hi after searching for what seemed like ages for the guide I found it hidden in the group buy room so rather than bumping that thread I thought I would start a new one here as this is where I was looking first.All credit gos to pjohn151 who wrote the guide.
original thread with the guide starting near the bottom is here
and a link to the pdf version is here
A big thanks from me to pjohn151 for posting the guide as it was very useful for me today fitting mine.

i used this guide last weekend to fit mine it is very good. How did you get on with the nut on the back of the alternator? I ended up removing the alternator so i could get to it and still havent bothered tensioning the belt yet as i really cant be arsed tring to get a socket on it.

The nut on the back of the alternator is a pain I managed to get a socket on it then wedged the socket with a screw driver though I don't think it is 100% tight so when my exhaust arrives and I have the under trays off I will have another go at it and possibly cut an old 17mm spanner down to fit in that tight gap.

Glad you found it useful!
That alternator bolt is a real PITA

A set of stubby metric spanners is a must for these cars as there is tight or limited access I found the 17mm stubby one fitted perfectly on the back of the alternator.

I used an angle grinder to make a really short spanner. The spanner wedges between the nut and the fixing so you can tighten the bolt. I will post it to you if you wanti used this guide last weekend to fit mine it is very good. How did you get on with the nut on the back of the alternator? I ended up removing the alternator so i could get to it and still havent bothered tensioning the belt yet as i really cant be arsed tring to get a socket on it.
