Hi all,
The problem is: 98 3.0TD JAck that when I pull up at lights or in the driveway the lights seem to flicker and the voltage needle wobbles about a bit, not heaps couple of V tops.
It had been doing it for a little while month or 2 and then I had the recall done for the injector seals and sleeves, 6weeks ago. And it seemed to go away, now its back. The smoke cloud on start up seems to be back too, maybe its just to cooler weather.
I rang the Holden service dept and they are going to look at it next week.
BTW, I am running Delvac 1 5W-40 oil, due for a change, there was some other crap in it last change.
Any hints as to what I am up for?

The plot thickens!
I took the jack into an auto electrician and they looked at it and said:
" It is an odd bod altenator and will be tricky to gt parts for, probably only from Holden"
"Gee, look at how much the engine is rocking and rolling at idle, is there a borken mount, or something else wrong?"
So, out we go to Holden service, who didi the injector seal s months ago. They said:
" Oh, yes there is a lot of movement, we will have to get it booked in to do some diagnostics." I haven't made a booking yet.
The movement is east-west when the engine is idling, idle is at about 900rpm, movement is maybe 20mm at the intercooler. there also seems to be a sucking sound on the passengers side, when I've got my head under the bonnet.
Also, there is a diaphragm of somesort between the fuel filter and the intercooler, hangs off the side of the ???, this was disconnected, when reconnected it moves in and out about every second, what is it and what does it do? I can probably post a photo.
Help please
