I'm about 60% sure i got this right. I noticed just before when I went for a little drive in the TF the headlights are dim when idling and decelerating (not as much as idle though). This generally means alternator is playing up right? Or is it perfectly normal?

Only on gas but fixed that yesterday (loose plug). Starts fine, no lack of power there so the battery seems good.
