Well, the alternator in my 240D is starting to go. At idle this morning my lights dimmed and the battery light comes on. When I was looking around at the site where I got my valve adjusting wrenches I saw that he suggests replacing the voltage regulator on the alternators on older mercedes as a preventitive maintance procedure. Is this something worth checking out or should I just replace the alternator? Also, if I should do the alternator I saw that there are 55 and 65 amp ones avaliable. The 65 amp ones are about $50 more. Is there any reason for the 65?

Thanks!
