When mine went on the Nova, it was causing to much power to go to things, so when I accelerated the lights would get brighter and the dash lights would also get brighter. | |

im getting squeling noise on start up until choke cuts off also keep loosing power in the battery think the battery needs changing anyway but could the alternator be nakered cos noise comming from aux belt area but dont think due to dampness!! :boggle: | |

another tell tale sign i had was when my fuel gauge (previously at full 40 miles earlier) was showing empty.. ok the Alternator wasnt fucked but it had popped the belt off (which was luckily sittin on top of the engine!!) which is as good as having a fucked alternator cos it's not charging the battery without the belt on :lol: | |

Mine went about 2 months ago on my astra. Driving down the M4, my alternator light on the dash started flickering on and off slowly. Then gradually it started flicking extremely fast, then it was permanently on. | |

Well, the proper way of testing it is with a multi meter. | |
