Hi,

Thanks for the response IanG. There was a query over the correct alternator being fitted, but the latest fitted, I was assured was the correct one. I'd hoped therefore that it would be resolved, but it wasn't.

I've asked the garage to check the battery - they didn't think it would be the problem, but...

I also spoke to the Volvo garage who suggested that some aftermarket alternators have had issues. Also suggested testing the alternator regulator switch? Easy to do?

Vida,Dice = ? Sorry - I'm no mechanic!
