I think I will replace the voltage regulator first. Not that expensive...

Appreciate the tips!
When an alternator fails it isn't typically the VR. It's usually the brushes or slip rings have worn out and not making contact. When that starts to happen is when you get the intermittent light. IIRC you can buy rebuild kits for our alternators that replace the brushes and slip rings. Just be sure you get the ones for the brand alternator you have. Its typically either Bosch or Valeo.
