Hi all,

My alternator is not working normally, I think it either need replacement or re-conditioning. My voltage gauge is often indicating below 12, and my lights are really dim.

Would appreciated if anyone could suggested what I can do?
#Replacement or reconditioning- how much and where?

Regards,
Yashiro

hi,

It happened on my FTO as well so I got it reconditioned at a car electrican place. Most of them should be able to do it. I got it done in Melbourne.
