To any ACT members out there......anyone know of a good Auto Electrician...my son(2002 VR-X Magna) is having issues with his car lights flickering ,then it completely dies and wont start...Alternator light keeps flickering at low revs..im thinking its a combination of a dicky battery and alternator..

Flickering lights = alternator is shot.
Put the battery on a charger, before it dies in sympathy with the alternator. Overnight if he is using the car daily.
Another alternator from the wreckers, or check yellow pages?
