this was happening to mine quite a bit and everytime it did the radio switch off, proper annoying.

it turned out to be a loose wire earthing on the back of the alternater

the little pack on the top of the alternator wears out.. you can buy them on there own and only cost 15 quid or so, i bought one years back and it sorted my flickering out..

Check the connector plug (and more so the yellow wire) at the top of the alternator.
