I know, my last car had a 90A alternator and I had 110W bulbs in my front lights, (75A) , and the charge light would be on when the quad pod was on.....

This car has a 150A alternator, so should be fine......
Yes, I agree it is marginal, although bulbs are only 55W and I've only got one radiator fan at the moment. (I do need to add another one)
Heater fan is a luxury we shall dispense with if the lights are on!
