🔌 Function

Driven by the engine belt to generate charging current for the batteries and to run the electrical load while the engine is running.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Charge warning lamp lit or flickering with the engine running
  • Batteries going flat despite normal running hours
  • Whining, growling or rumbling from the alternator bearings
  • Burnt smell or discoloured windings visible through the vents
  • Charging voltage low, high or fluctuating at the batteries

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Confirm the system is 28V charging before ordering — this is not a 12V or 14V unit
  • Check belt tension, the earth strap and the heavy output cable before condemning the alternator
  • Voltage regulator 874246 is a separate item if the fault is regulation rather than output
