ok, battery is a brand new varta, alternator is putting out 14.4 volts, 14.2 with the lights on. It's been fine since monday when the batt went in and now em gets home and it wont start. The stereo turns off if the revs drop below 5000rpm and the wipers are slow as hell.
It started first spin when she got in it at college, and within 8ish miles the stereo was cutting out. Now it's home the ignitions on fine and the battery light wasn't on whilst it was moving.
The starter turns over really slowly, nowhere near quick enough to start it. Barely enough to compress the engine. All earthing points are perfect, I redid them all the other week, bare metal to bare metal and the cables are in good condition. The amp power lead is intact and hasn't blown the fuse.
I'm at a total loss, wtf is going on? where is all the power going?
