Wonder where that cable connector. is located underneath.

He seemed to think it was at one of the hubs. Not too much info as it was a warranty repair - apparently Toyota team's comms to him were that the damage from the cable getting pulled out shouldn't have happened. I'm not hugely familiar with the Hilux setup to be honest as well, so only going on the short discussion I had - but if being a little more careful about running over debris and things like gorse prevents someone else from ending up in this situation... I'm not sure what the alt/gen, battery and any other parts are worth but I would not like to be paying for that repair out of my pocket!
