ALTERNATOR Plug Clip
 
Have lost the retaining wire clip from the alternator plug.

Its for a 2004 diesel, anyone have one or know where I can source one urgently?

Thanks Steve.

I might be wrong but do you press the clip in when pulling the plug ?

That looks very much like it.

Cannot measure the part as the lead fell down below the alternator. Not much room down there and I could only reach the clip with a pair of very long nose pliers..... I was not having a good day !! :mad:

Not sure, but i rightly or wrongly pulled it out with a pair of long nose pliers then promptly dropped it !

That's what I've done, it's now on the undertray somewhere:shrug:. I intend to try the breakers unless someone on here has got one? For the time being I've got no clip on but the plug is a tight fit.

Oops, that's where I went wrong, clip came off ok but I dropped it trying to put it back, now lying out of sight on the undertray, until and if it falls off :duh: .
