My battery light flashes when I drive slowly around town so I guess I need to replace my alternator?

There's no 'Williams alternator' on eBay. Are the valver ones the same, or even a mk 1 alternator?

I see some alternator belts on eBay. I guess I should try getting one of these fitted first before replacing the whole alternator?

Check all your connections first.

Williams ones are unique, so don't try a valver or other Mk1 unit.
