[QUOTE="wolfgang, post: 592106, member: 22373"] I fitted a new ( refurbished )alternator just over a year ago and it is knackered already. Have I just been unlucky and got a duff one or is there something more fundamental wrong with wiring. The alternator I fitted had an internal regulator and the wiring on the bus bypasses the external regulator so this part seems ok. The idiot light started coming on and going off a couple of weeks ago but when I tested with a multimeter if showed if was charging ok. Yesterday after a longish drive when I turned the ignition on the light was off. When I checked with a multimeter today it is showing that the battery is not charging. The battery is new so that ruled out that side of things. [/QUOTE]
