Just as a follow up on alternator ,have got cover off ,is the metal box on side the built in regulator or is it the white plastic centre piece.
This is just to reiterate that the alternator goes from pegged at 16 + to dropping to 9 10 at load with lights it slowly moves between these two extremes .of course I could throw down another 150 bucks but I'm determined to get to the root of this as im sure others have faced same issue .if anyone can shed light on parts supplier ipleasen socal I'd appreciate this .budget wise with labour at 125 bucks an hour getting electrical professionals involved beats the point as I can get another for the same money if not less.thoughts
