Re: Modern 3 wire alternator wiring Get yaself down a scrapyard. MK1 Saxo, Marelli alternator, 70A - all mountings in right place, one hacksaw cut and some filing and jobs a good'un, and only 2 wires. Took me bloody years (and several buggered GSA ones)to find one that fitted with as little work. Internal regs and rectifier packs quite cheap to replace too. Not that I've ever blown mine from overloading, you understand.

Re: Modern 3 wire alternator wiring Fraid not, I'll try and have a look at some point, but as the car is currently being used as a shelf it may take some time!

Re: Modern 3 wire alternator wiring I haven't been able to look under the bonnet - but from the Citroen service pages I'm *pretty sure* its 63 321 641, at least that's listed as Marelli 70A, and the other Marelli PN doesn't look right. (I used to know it by heart when I bought replacement regs and diode packs for it)
That's a 2 wire system, from new it didn't need a warning light, but with replacement VR it did, so best wire one up anyway.
And I forgot to mention - you need to shim the lower pivot mounting, I used an engine-gearbox dowel. I made a very slight bollockup and it quite liked eating fan belts, so be warned. Took me about 2 weeks to (nearly) perfect it.
