just been out for a test drive, noticed the lights were getting dim and indicators werent flashing, came home quickly . i feel its the new alternater thats not working, batterys dead flat now..

has anyone bought a new alternater and found it was faulty?

gonna put my original one back on and try it but thats for a 1600 engine so dunno if itl prove anything?

 

ps, engine is awesome and pulls great and sounds lovely

alernator doesnt know what engine its straped to does it ! try the old one to see if it charges the system, if it does lob the new one through the front window of where you brought it from

sorted, it was the smaller of three connection inside the alternator that had bent over and not connecting, i mustve done it when pushing the wiring plug in, charging perfect now

yes you would nead that small connection to excite the alternator
