I would say NO and the guy told me rubbish.
As I was hoping to get an answer on my "Neutral Terminal" question (as on post 82) and I got only the information that my wiring and the regulator are incorrect.

No, you do not need to replace it.

After looking some great videos from MOSS on Youtube and googling I think (hope) I fund the issue! 
I need to adjust the field relay on the regulator to stop closing the contact immediately after the battery is connected to the alternator. It needs only to close after the alternator is running and producing power!
I found a value of > 6V measured on the S contact of the regulator. (But I hope someone can confirm this Volt value)

Hi John
Many thanks for the recommendation.
I'm in contact with the seller to get the shipment to Europe enabled.

The manual is on the way!
Now I need to wait some weeks and after that I'll know the Volt value the Field Relay has to be set.
