J B:

thanks gords 8)

Frankie-Boy:
The easiest way to fix it is to chop off the connector on the small wire at the back of the alternator and replace it with a new one, this will make it more secure and the problem should be solved.

Budgie:
Agree with Frank, don't bother trying to clean and tighten the spade connector on the white/black wire, put a new connector on there.
I had the same problem when I first got the Disco, changed the connector and it's been fine for the last four years!!  :wink:

If  a new connector doesn't sort the problem then it's more likely to be in the alternator internals that are on the way out.  :(

I'm beginning to spot a common responce here, everything always seems to be something to do with connections and earth...

<goes into deep thought>

The forum has an automatic filter to pick up on swear words and filter them out (or amend them or something), maybe one should be setup to auto reply to any electrical question with: Check your connections, especially to earth.

hobbit:
Also if you have to pop off the alternator and clean the spade connection on the unit itself, used to get a dim genny light, beat the hell out of me until i did this and it went away :?
