does the blue wire need to be connected to make the alternator work? - or is this just the battery warning light?

All positive wires are fine and the alternator is earthing....

May need that alternator mate, when could we come and get it?

i'm looking at upgrading my brakes. i want disks and calipers, ideally getting bigger disks. the only kit i found so far is wilwoods. this is the calipers 280mm disks and pipe work. come to about 520. bit pricey for 20mm more.

any1 any other big brake and caliper kit ideas?
