Had the same thing with my Daimler 2.5 V8 Patrick - and yes it was the
voltage regulator - had to replace it

G'day
My normal reliable Austin-Healey gave a hiccup over the weekend.
Saturday was an impossibly hot day to be out in an Austin-Healey, but we
diligently motored on in a club run spurred on by the thought of a few cold
amber ales at our destination and the nasty thoughts against the occupants
of
two BJ8s with air-conditioning.
I have an ammeter installed and noticed that it was reading +30 quite some
time after it should have started to read 0. Switching on the radiator fan
reduced it to +15 and with the lights on down a bit further. On idle at
traffic lights it would drop down to just below 0.
Methinks it's the voltage regulator not doing what it's supposed to do. Went
looking for my points file yesterday where it should be, but of course
couldn't find it.
Is my thinking along the correct path?
