When the warning lights start to flicker, you have probably 2-6 months left on your alternator, specifically on your stator winding.
Every SVX that I have seen with a bad alternator (three so far) that had blinky dash lights, ended up with a bad stator inside the alternator.
Any one wonder why they even put a charging idiot light in our cars? It obviously doesn't work. I have driven with dead alternators and it never bothers to come on...
