The diode pack in the alternator has gone, time to rebuild it.

Diode pack is toast :(

Get it rebuilt, not too expensive and they'll service it too.

Its possible, but unlikeley. The diode pack is the big chunk of electronics on the back, the symptoms you describe would need a diode to break down, thats an electronic failure rather than mechanical.

They can be damaged though if the comutator is playing up, that the brass rings that feed power to the rotor coil (feild coil).  It's the only moving part other than th bearings.
