is your alternator only the 35 amp one? They can be on the limit with all lights etc running. Most of mine have been upgraded to higher ouptut alternators

Yeah, it's the Bosch K1 14v 35amp

I noticed a Motorola 14v 55amp is listed in Haynes

So maybe I should upgrade

Cheers

Well worth doing for a daily driver.

I modify 260 90 amp ones to fit but you don't need to go that far
