I have been having ongoing problems with my Lucas alternator since it was refurbished, about 4 years ago.
The circuit board at the rear of the unit keeps failing, seems to be only lasting 1 year for each replacement.
First sign of failure is a dim glow of the ignition light, followed by the alternator stop charging. If left, the circuit reverses polarity, actually drawing 13.5v from the battery!!
Am I just lucky, or are others experiencing the same problems with genuine Lucas alternators? Is there a suitable Bosch replacement?
