Apologies for the big bump but thought I'd update in case anyone was curious. Did the earth upgrade from the loom to the alternator a couple of weeks ago and can confirm that this fix does indeed work! Was a bit of a pain of a job as the loom has to come from the back bottom of the engine to the top to do the soldering, but well worth it. All flickering has stopped and also feels more responsive too! no longer looks like a Christmas tree at night lol.
Also got a dicky Alternator too, from a long drive, It went into limp mode on the way home, had to get her charged by the RAA. Was smelling a bit electrical and making a whining noise. Lucky it's only my cheap second Cougar!
