Hi all I have a 1996 Vauxhall Combo 1.7D... My alternator has packed up so got a new one, but I have a problem the new one I have got has 4 pin connector yet my old one was only 2 pin.. So my question is can I convert a 4 pin connector to a 2 pin??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Many Thanks In Advance..

In theory you probably could, but why not just get the correct one...£72 on ebay brand new.

Don't really want to spend that much as it's an old van, plus I am a delivery driver and seem to go through parts like nobody's business anyway..

Thanks Anyway..

If you are a delivery driver you need reliable transport. £72 for the correct part is hardly very much.

Beggars belief.

Another double posting muppet, why do they do that.

Makes you wonder how they manage to buy the wrong alternator.

bearing in mind the alternator is also the vacuum pump for the brakes I would want the correct one myself!
