Hi all

Started up the GU patrol (2007 CRD) yesterday and the dash lights wouldn't go out (the typical lights you see when alternator is kaput). Used a battery tester which confirmed alternator wasn't producing output. A few hours later I had to move the patrol on to the road, everything back to normal. Retested and all ok. Move the patrol back onto the drive, dash lights back on, alternator kaput. I checked for loose connections/ broken wires but couldn't see anything. I started the patrol this morning, everything ok.

Alternator is only a few years old (a cheapy one), so I am wondering if it is on its way out or something else I should investigate

thanks in advance
