Hi Jason

 

Just to give you some info about the alternator lead. I had the same problem with the fuse box and burnt out alternator lead, mine is on a 53 plate, 1.9 Tdi 130bhp Ghia. When I fitted a new alternator lead from Ford I found the copper lead was thicker than the original one fitted.

My friend has a 2005 Seat Alhambra (same engine) and he had the wider copper lead fitted as standard. Seems Ford has now upgraded this lead so that it can carry the current.

Hope this helps some one who is not sure what to do about there alternator lead.
