Titanium Clio 182
I think its the Alternator for obvious reasons, was travelling from Portsmouth to Middlesbrough this afternoon, everything was fine. About one hour into the 6 1/2 journey every time I braked, my stereo would flicker between night mode and day mode. An hour later I entered a traffic jam and the stop light and brake light started flashing in sync with the idling of the engine. When I drive off it would flicker faster, at about 3000 revs it would flicker so fast that it just looked light a dull illumination on the stop and the battery light, anything above or below the revs it would start to flicker eradically. I though id be ending up on a RAC truck as I still had over 3 hours till I was to arrive in Middlesbrough. I made it though and it was flashing constantly, the brightness of the flashing would increase if I turned the lights on, the fan on full blower with aircon and the radio. I made sure everything was turned off so I would make it back to boro.
I stopped when I got to Middlesbrough and the light was still flashing (Stop light and battery light) with very low illuminance, could hardly see iy, but it was flickering as soon as I stopped. When I got in the car 10 min later it had stopped flickering.
I'm going to test it tomorrow with a FLUKE.
Will it be the Alternator, battery or voltage regulator (my brother mentioned the voltage regulator, dunno what it is)
I forgot to mention the clock on the dashboard was flashing in sync with the stop and battery light.
Thanks in advance.
