Could have happened when your new alternator was fitted. ;) Andy. Quote

Guest neil_wiles Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Normally indicates that the battery is not accepting any charge normally due to damaged plates. The other common fault if for the brushes to be worn. Quote
Guest gooner52 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 was the alternator a brand new unit or a refurb one ;) as we all know sometimes new units or refurb ones can still be faulty j Quote
Guest ZIGGY11 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 Tried two alternators + one new, same result problem remains, same as before, Battery power now diminished to a level where the car will not turnover. Quote
