I hope someone can help!
I recently bought a 1.4ie Tipo for the good lady but last night it died on us! As we were driving along, the lights dimmed and eventually, the engine cut out. I tried jumping it from my car and it started fine but as soon as I removed the jump leads it died again.
I have noticed that when you turn the ignition on, there are only two lights on the dash, the hand brake and oil pressure lamps; the charging system light does not come on at all.
I initially thought that it was an alternator fault but as the light is not there, I am starting to wonder if there is another issue.
Any ideas would be much apperciated!
