Hello all, I've been noticing that my alternator wasn't charging that well, and the light would come on ,it's a bosch one, worked OK with no load but with lights etc on the volts would drop back to 12.5 at a fast idle. So I swapped it for a spare one I had, ducellier, gives 14.2v but the lamp glows.
I'm told its likely to be the diodes, have any of you changed the diodes on a ducellier? Is it a plug in or a soldering job?
Apparenlty the bosch ones always give less volts than the french ones, hence I'm thinking of getting the french one fixed, should keep the battery more charged with short journeys etc.
cheers
