As i was making my way back from Loons tonight in the pooring rain the alternator light kept coming on.
It seemed to be kind of ramdon but i closing monitored it and it mainly did it after going up hills or when i hit big puddles (I actually aqua planed at one point the road was so bad, wasnt fun) It is obviously due to the rain because it never does it nay other time, Something is getting wet so what are ways to fix this?

Belts getting wet from the road. You probably need to tension them or get the proper cover.

Sounds like you had fun Matt, we had no power till 10pm and then flickery lights due to water ingression.

You prob is definately slipping belt. Get that cover on. I have a different kinda one you can have if you like.

There was power at Narellan, so it must have bee localised to south camden.

I have the cover that goes over the crank and cam but it doesnt cover the ac or alternator.
