Hi all,
Can you give me some advice please before I start to pay out
Today the car died on my wife, flat battery ... she got a jump start and it died again, really dead (ABS light flashing, steering light flashing, rev counter at 0, whole dash very dim)
I went and bought a new varta and fitted it, and hoorah, all is good she started first time but the battery light is now staying on.
There appears to be no charge going to the battery from the altenator, checked the belt that looks ok, is it a new altenator is there anything else I can check ??
how much should I be paying for an altenator ??
how far will she go with no altenator before I kill my new battery
ps. the battery light was not on yesterday so this is all as a result of todays issues ...
Thanks
