I seem to be having problems again, the new alternator is fitted and secure, the drivebelt is driving it fine. I have checked, cleaned and re-checked the electrical connections at the back and they seem to be secure and have a good line to the battery and the case of the alternator has good connection to earth, tested on the engine and chassis.
Symptoms, I turn the ignition on and the charge warning lamp lights at around half brightness, with the engine running the charge lamp stays at similar brightness and the voltmeter stays the same, no change with engine speed. This, to my mind, points to an internal failure in the alternator. your opinions folks please..
