Faulty alternator?
When I started my 75cdt today, I noticed that when I used the single wipe option on the wipers they moved more slowly than normal. Also, as I revved the engine the headlights got brighter.
There was no warning light on the display but I'm concered it could be the start of a problem. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks in advance. Last edited by Iggy75; 31st December 2013 at 16:40.. |

Check your voltage from the ipk using this... http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...post.php?p=145 Worth a try as it's an easy check.

Multimeter across the battery terminals. Should read just over 14 volts on tickover.
The wipers have a variety of wiping speeds. Don't worry.  Most cars headlights get slightly brighter if you rev the engine. |
