Where do I stand on this? - 24th Aug 2012 12:52pm
I bought a brand new alternator about 2½ month ago.
I have had nothing but problems since I had it fitted.
But I just tried to live with it, but slowly its been getting worse.
I have had alternator checked, and its giving out all the readings it should, altho the amps are a bit low.
I borrowed a alt of another car, a genuine Ford one, and the problems I had go away, so its defo the new alt.
I went back to shop I bought alt from, they put there tester on, and it shows its fine.
The shop will not refund me, or give me credit note.
They offered an exchange, but only once they send old one away, for testing first.
