Sjdickso Well today battery light came on and lost all power steering, all belts look ok and the battery is pretty new, I am guessing it's the alternator that's gone? If so do you think I can drive it 9 miles to the mechanics.
evocarlos your mechanic won't help unless he has an alternator on the shelf ready to fit 🙂 top tip neobrothers sell alternators with warranty for £30 🙂 a simple test with a multimeter would confirm its not charging
Sjdickso Cheers @[deleted] 🙂 I meant have I got a chance driving 9 miles with the car like this? Ps thanks for heads up on neobrothers do I need a 120 or 100 amp? It would be a 24hr wait on parts. My multimeter is at work 12 miles away 🙁

dewismotorsport You'll make 9 miles easy mine died on motorway and I managed over 30 miles till the coil pack ran on 3 and then the fuel pump stopped :ROFLMAO: Needs to be full battery with nothing electric in car on
