I used to use one in Southbourne (15 years ago) but I cannot find them on line.
Could someone let me know the name of a competent repairer - not one of the many parts suppliers who say they repair alternators!
As a note, the alternator only give 13 volts - which I presume means it has partially failed diodes? I want to get a field wire added to support a Sterling alternator charger.
Modern alternators see to give out a much higher voltage - up to 14.8 on my car. Are they clever enough to go into float mode (13.8v) when the battery is charged. If not, I am not certain I like the idea of an uncontrolled alternator!
