Typical

[Wobba]

I was thinking hard about getting an alternator this month to deduce if it was that causing the whining noise. Decided to wait another month and typically the battery light has now come on strong warning of impending 'you're fukced' status in rush hour traffic.

I've had to order a valver one from GSF. I dont run heavy electrics in my car so it should be fine...I hope. Just hope the car holds out until I can get home!

Oh dear, thats always a ****er!

You just dont no when its gona happen, and ur right it prob will be on your way home. Youve moved now right?

Unlucky mate, it's not fun having fun & games with alternators when you're going to work

I found out the hard way that a new battery will last 3 days of driving if the alternator is fooked, mine died on me right in the middle of a busy dual carriageway junction a few weeks ago

[Coops]

i really can't see the siginificance of the williams one being higher rated, if anything it should be the valver, they have electric sunroofs

Oh dear, thats always a f**ker!

I have moved yes! means I need car to be working 100%

GSF have one hopefully coming down from London, I hope I can pick it up at lunchtime.

My battery is about a year old, pretty hardcore one tbh. I am not sure how long the charge will last....last thing I need is to break down on way to GSF!

Well good luck, I hope you make it to GSF then home ok & this can be the 1 time I don't want to hear another epic wobbanory tale
