need to take the seat and rear panels off. its just near the battery, looks like somthing with fins on one side and flat on the back about 3 ins square and a cable going into it. there should be a pic in the workshop manual. i got one from busters a while ago for about 55 quid but i dont know if they still sell them.
anything is possible with enough time and money. and an open mind...

Rect/reg can get very hot and break down internally
Also corosion can occur where the AC voltage is connected from the alternator

£70 for a new one here
