Hi All.

I have a WM Caprice L98 (S1) with an S2 IQ stereo conversion and factory BOSE amp/speakers.

It has always had a small amount of alternator whine but I have just installed a new (aftermarket) alternator after my last one packed up.

Since then I have had incredibly loud alternator whine through the stereo. I have checked earth points, checked the IQ's wiring loom for anything that looks out of the ordinary etc but all appears ok.

Has anyone ever had this with aftermarket alternators?

Cheers
