I had my alternator out a couple of weeks ago to replace the regualtor/brush pack. The biggest aggro was the aux belt. Getting it off and on. It was suggested to drain the system down a bit which I do not like doing if I can help it. So the alternative was to remove the radiator fan cowling which was pretty easy and allowed me to move the alt along the front of the radiator after I had loosend the dip stick support. I had twitchy lights while driving which I initially thought it had not cured, but I don't get that any more but I do get low rev pulsey lights at tickover. I am suspecting my battery which has shown the low battery warning a couple of times suggesting it is not holding a chaarge. I have built a battery desulfator and also added some epsom salts in it to try and extend the life of it a bit longer.
