Hey Sumo, I got the alternator bench tested and he said all is fine and it charges good. He says the regulator is OK. So the problem must lie with the bulb and/or wiring? Apparently if the bulb goes, you get no charge as it's part of the circuit? The fuses under the rhs dash are all OK. I will try the test light method... the two plug terminals are marked L and S (light and sensor I'm told). I have a test light, but it's not powered. Do I just connect each pin of the plug to earth in turn? Thanks again mate - it looks like you're the only one on here who knows anything about the charging circuit!! Cheers

Cheers mate! Much appreciated!

Could someone have a look on their R32 driver's side window wiper arm and tell me if there is an "A" or a "D" marked on the metal? Thanks a lot!!

Thanks for the reply mate. Obviously she's at 12V when running, so there's no charge. Like I said, my dash light is never on, so I guess it's been like that for a while in Japan (fresh import) and the bulb's burnt out. I was going to pull the alternator and get it tested to be sure it's dead, though wanted to check first if anyone here had any other ideas. Thanks again Sumo.

She's not charging! Belt is good and tight, got no battery light on the dash at start up/ignition on or when running. Is there a warning lamp on the dash that is part of the charging circuit - ie if the bulb goes, the charge goes too? Or is it deffo just my alternator (only just past 100,000 km)? Cheers for any feedback!
