Hi fellas,I had the battery light flicker on and off for a while last week but then it stopped,been in the garage today but they can't find a fault but just had it delivered back and the light is now permanatly on! Battery voltage is okay so must be the alternator? Anyone any ideas
cheers

I would think deffo an alternator fault,very common on CSLs and M3s.The battery may be at full charge now but a couple of short trips and Bobs your Uncle.:moan:

You had about 70 miles from first light so be warned and keep the AA number handy or get it changed NOW

Alternator, it will dump you. Every warning light will come on and then you have about 200 yards if your lucky. Stay off m'ways if it was me!

I still smile to myself when I think of the M56 being shut due to your failed alternator ;)

My business partner saw you broke down on the slip road Ian, he phoned me asking the reg, as he thought he recognised it.

I can just imagine the Traffic Officers getting out their Risk Assesmemts looking for what they should do.

They must have been seconds away from closing the whole of Lancashires Motorways :hahaha:
