Setting off in five hours to drive to the Alps for a family skiing holiday.
Wife gets in the multipla to pick up some food and the "alternator faulty" message pops up!!!!!
She's now driven it to Tesco, fault disappeared on re-starting, and when she gets back I'll check the voltage as best as I can.
So the question is - do I try the cheap option of replacing the battery before we go, and hope that it was that that was causing the fault message.
Or drive off anyway and rely on RAC cover to get us to our holiday?
Aaargh!!!!
