Is this an easy job, or does it require some serious dis-assembly?
Back Story:
Alternator error came up gave me fault code a couple of weeks back but went away. (I was on the Great Ocean Road and a long way from home)
Fault came back today, then went away briefly, then returned, and has stayed on since. Charged the battery and the car runs fine (except for the code), until I disconnect the + terminal.
Called the NRMA and the Patrolman checked and said it was most likely the Alternator but to get it professionally checked (as he is supposed to say).
I want to take the alternator out and check the regulator, but as regulator faults are usually intermittent, I will probably just replace the alternator if it is feasible.
Thanks, Nick
