Alternator not starter.....

Post by Dhammadad »

Contrary to what I thought it looks like it's the alternator that's playing up not the starter motor. Gone and ordered a new starter now but might as well for it and keep the old one as a spare.

In the meantime are there any checks I can do before forking out for a new alternator? As a start it's only pulling 12.3v with the engine running :(

TIA....

You could try replacing the regulator..https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/e ... 14-5v.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
