did you fit a second hand alternator or new last time
also have you had to jump start the car


reasons if you jump start the car and spark the bettery with the terminals you can blow the alternator diodes thus alternator fails

second hand is faulce ecconomy as you dont know the history
mad about cars and bikes :)
if it aint broke dont fix it :)

Yes it was second hand, I didn't jumpstart the beastie, but being a natural born pessimist, I expected the bl****y thing to be a duffer, Ce la vie. LOL

No probs Kent John, I have just been out to car to curse the alternator a few times, it does not help but it does make me feel better. As Ned Kelly said just before they hanged him "SUCH AS LIFE" .
