Ok so heres the problem:

Battery light Flickers
Car Splutters when accelerating
Car taking 2 seconds to start rather than instantly
I turn the engine off for 10 mins and this seems to correct the problem but it comes back now and again.

I have decided that the alternator needs replacing as i have tried to re-earth it to no success :(

So i just wanted to know what amp i should get for a MK2 VTR baring in mind i have a boot install thats not amazingly power hungry but would more amps on the alternator solve my problem also maybe a replacement battery just to be sure. Any help as always is very welcome.

dont buy altinator till you check all earth leads and coil pack as this will make your car miss fire not the altinator and splutter
