I plan to - already bought a genuine voltage regulator and slip ring. Got a good auto elec nearby who'll have bearings in stock. Provided the windings are in good condition she'll be like a new one!
Just waiting for nice weather to affect removal (just coming out of winter here!).


As for other potential failures - the factory mobile phone (where fitted) has been touted as another possible drain device. I've pulled the fuse on mine permanently as 2g is being turned off here in November anyway, so it'll be pretty much useless.
May remove the phone from the arm rest one of these days too!

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
