Indicator & Alternator Help

Hi All,

Had a little search but some of the info had disappeared.

Issue 1 - I'm going to the dark side & have 3P airlift ready to fit but they have mentioned upgrading my Alternator & Battery.
My Battery is only approx. a year old but my alternator died just before the car went away for Winter so I'm looking for some suggestions on upgrades / replacements to help support the compressors.

Engine is a 1.8 KR from a mk2.

Issue 2 - One side of my indicators have stopped working. Lights up a little on the dash but nothing to the lights - front or rear.
Checked the lights to make sure they are working & one side works fine. Any tips for things to check before I get them re-wired.

Thank you in advance : )

Check all your fuses, and Ground to the rear indicators.
You can add additional grounds using a length of wire to the ground points on your Lights, to a Bumper bolt.

Grounds do get accidently knocked off with throwing things in the boot.

Alternator's need to know which type that you have, the Motorola (wires plug in to a socket on the Voltage Regulator)
Bosch that has 2 Studs one large and one little.  The little one should have a blue wire on it.  If the blue wire is disconnected, and or the wire is broken, then you can get a Bad Alternator indication as the battery will not "tickle" the field to start charging.

The Bosch comes in 3 varieties that I know of over here,
55-60, 90, and 120Amp.

The Motorola I think goes from 55, or 65A…

sorry just seen, this, the lights can be faulty hazard switch try on/off a few times or half way.  give the indicator relay a love tap also. lack of use and moisture kills these switches and relays.

Thank you 😊 
Ordered a new relay & that didn't work but I'll have a look into the Hazard Switch!
