[QUOTE="Mursal, post: 5023424, member: 5919"] The light wont go out even at a good fast tick over? Ok its not charging. Drive belt is ok and the pulley is actually turning the alternator shaft, sometimes the key falls out as the pulley is going on? Large output wire should be connected to the positive terminal on the battery via the starter solenoid. Worth checking you have 6Volts on the big wire? I take it you have the above Lucas alternator? If you take the black plastic back off the alternator (7mm socket I think) you can take the brushes out to check them. The 7mm socket has to fit down the hole you see in the plastic. The brushes are held in the plastic brush box by two 7mm headed bolts. Or take the complete box off the frame of the alternator, whichever is easiest. Just to have a look at the brushes for length and condition. Then you can move on to test the regulator. This is what you see when you take the cover off .............
