    I had relay chatter.So i changed the relay.Still chatters.I did read low voltage on the front batt was the cause of this.I've rebuilt the drivers side alt.Both batts are putting well over 14v.But still chatters.Anyone any ideas???

    CUCV alternator symptoms, diagnosis and fix.

    Yes,done all that.The next thing was a bit of logic.......it all worked before i took it all to bits.So,took it all to bits again and start putting back the old parts one at a time.The 1st thing to change back was the voltage regulator.Low and behold it all worked when i put it back together.Now...

    IP check valve.

Mine has been blocking up every now and again for the last year and a half.Now it's happening more often.I know it needs a new...
