Hi guys, just wondering where I would buy a regulator for my V8?

I am pretty sure this is what i need, as my alternator is working, but the battery is not getting enough electricity. Which causes the EMV to turn off, the cat warning appear as well as the "alternator not charging the battery" warning.

Now the alternator is working, so i assume the regulator is the problem. I hope this is the case, as a regulator is much cheaper then an alternator.

Also classic symptoms of power steering pump leaking into the alternator. Have you checked it? The regulator is fitted to the alternator.

Well that's what I thought as well, but there doesn't seem to be any fluid on the alternator.

This thread describes the same symptoms I am having, down to the battery only reading 12.2V even when the car is running. Shouldn't it be reading 14 something?
