If you nip into your local branch of Lucas they will test your alternator for you and give you the low down on the state of it

Hi there, have you measured the output with a voltmeter with the engine running and then without the engine running this will show you if the alternator is working. You should see a voltage increase.

Look for around 13.5v to 14.5v with engine running

Hi guys, I have measured with a meter, it don't change from running to stopped it's just slightly less each time I've started it
Nice idea about getting it tested, I'll have to have a look to see where the nearest place is.
Dan, I'll get back to you, when is Exeter?.
I was hoping to go, But if it's next week, the kids have just triple booked us all with water polo comps and rehersals at the Royal Albert Hall

I guess as long as it's off a crossflow it should fit ? I'll canvas the wlm and see if anyone can pick it up for me, how many beer tokens do I owe ya for it
