It all started the other day when I noticed my battery light started flickering on and off. after a while it just stayed on permanently.
It started fine for the rest of the day althought the battery light stayed on.
The next day I tried to start it but my battery was dead. I got my jump leads out and got a jump start to work.
Just as i got to work the car completly cut out.
I presumed my alternator was not charging the battery up so as soon as I got towed home I went out and purchased a working one, after an hour of hard labour I had fitted the new one. I tried my half charged battery and it started up, but the battery light never went out.
after a small drive round the block my lights started fading and my car began to cut out.
Any sensible clue to this would be much appreciated as I was sure it was the alternator.
