I don't believe it!
(In my best Victor Meldrew voice)
Some of you are probably aware that I have a long-running Nordic Saga relating to getting my engine running... first, it was 'no oil
pressure' (my cock-up), then it was overheating (almost certainly an air lock), now it looks like my alternator has gone into sulk mode, with a
'permanently on' light on the dash (it was OK a little while ago).
I've checked the wiring, which is OK, so now I guess that I have go into its innards & check the diodes.
Bo**ox, as Steve would say...

I have seen more sophisticated quotes attributed to people, perhaps that one's my epitaph 
A friend of mine has a personal web address. He has it just for the dot com email adress. His web holding page just displays one word....hmm
guess....I must have caught it from him.
Americans dont know this word. It can be a useful backhanded compliment 
As for the atlenator, mine didnt work cos I didnt have the lamp conected - but thats obviously not your issue at present!
Sometimes, welding on the car with mig can damage electronics....I have taken out all my efi stuff but left alterator in. Its not nadgered yet. I
wonder if thats happened to yours?
You do have the big black rubber band thing on that connects it to the moving bit at the bottom of the engine....

Rubber band thingy fitted and properly adjusted!
The alternator was working, now it isn't - no significant events between the two states. Just one of those things, I guess.
