My daughter recently reported her Cee'd lights were flickering a bit, both dashboard and headlights. So I took it to my friendly mech who measured the current across the battery and it was below 12v so he said alternator.
I found a cheap reworked one (£79) on eBay and it was fitted and worked fine for a week or so but now the same symptoms have arisen. Mech has measured it a 13.4 volts max.
The people are going to swap the unit for me but are dubious that t's the real problem. They said they'll test the new one and the one I return, to assist me rather than make a point. They do sound like they know what they are talking about!
If it's not the alternator what could it be?
