Symptoms:
Car has been slow starting for a while, then at Southern Softies it died on it's way on to the car park, then dies once in the car park (much to everyones amusement)..
I will admit that at present all I have done is charged the battery, but it looks a bit more serious than just the alternator.
Batttery showing 13+V with good cranking power(have gadget to check this), but there are still no lights on the dash and no power the the starter motor.
I have had to go to work, so I haven't done any continuity checks yet or go underneath to have a goos rumage, but I though I'd start a bit of brain storming, just in case it is something I'm missing.
Couple of questions:
Cabling from Positive side goes to the Starter motor only? with a wire coming directly from the Alternator?
Where is the main fuse? (porbably in the manual).
I still suspect the alternator, although I am unsure as the car had a brand new one only a couple of years ago. Maybe the Starer motor has also packed up, but anything else???
