Also buy a £5 multimeter from Maplin and check your own alternator rather than sitting there thinking you cant. You can, and save loads of money!

Super fast delivery and rock bottom prices. Buy yourself a cheap multimeter and check the alternator output yourself. Theres always someone here to walk you through the process.

Did you check the alternator or get it checked?

Not yet. I'm going to pop out tomorrow and sort it. Probably give it a go myself.

By I, I mean I'm going to make the OH pop out tomorrow and by myself I also mean him indoors. I'm just supposed to look pretty in it not put my hands in it...
