I have a 1987 SL420. I've had the battery replaced twice after it failed (car wouldn't start). I've found the voltage on the new battery when engine is running (tick over) is 12.15 volts. When revving it's 12.3 volts.
The alternator is the original Bosch one with a regulator clipped to the outside of it.
So it's not charging enough. Or the alternator isn't working right.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Any idea where I could source an new alternator with the same regulator set up?
Thanks
Richard
