Glad to hear it, sensible purchases aren't as fun.

Re: What did you do today?
Went for a drive in the Datty today; all good but the bloody charge light still flickers. It makes no sense why it does it; It can be idling and flickering and I turn the headlights on and it goes out. I've checked and cleaned earth cables, tightened the alternator belt. Now...the voltage regulator is not original, it's a Lucas, could it be in some way wrong? Just seems if it was wrong it would be wrong all the time, not this silly flickering at apparently random times....

Aye, a fit and healthy Japanese patient has been infected with a tiny useless British component 
Mercroker will disagree on that one!
I do have an old Italian voltage regulator I could try out lol.

Don't the Italian diodes swap direction halfway through use?

Re: What did you do today?
Unfortunately I am unable to completely disagree with Sheddy.....A faulty (Lucas) regulator on my rebuilt alternator caused the same symptom on the Minor - flickering at idle and going out under load. I blame Delco.

Re: What did you do today?
Sounds exactly like my problem there then, I'll take the Lucas apart- if I can and give it a good clean, then see if I can find a similar period Jap one on t'Bay.
