Hi all,
Hoping somebody could help give me a rough idea what theproblem might be. Sorry for the long message!
Basically, I broke down about 2 weeks ago, and was advised Ineeded a new battery and alternator. The garage fitted these, but – quite often– I would start the car and the battery light would be on, and the powersteering wasn’t working. So I would turn the ignition off and start the caragain, and everything would be fine.
Obviously I wasn’t happy with this, so went back to thegarage who said it must be a faulty alternator and replaced the alternator butI am still having the same problem – every now and again when starting the car forthe first time the battery light appears and so I have to switch off and onagain. This issue was not happening before I broke down, and therefore in mymind, it looks as though whatever they have done has caused this problem.
They have now said that they need their electronicsspecialist to come in and have a look. But just wondering if anybody hasencountered a similar issue and can give me a heads up as to what this mightbe.
Thanks in advance
