Battery Light

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
If you can get the parts you can DIY, I had mine replaced by a local company.  That said I killed it agin and had it fully reconn'd but no, you shouldn't need a new one if bits can be found.

dazzawhipple:
There cheap enough to replace the whole Alternator

My diodes went replaced then went again so new alternator was purchased

Well due to the fact that the wifes 306 is currently dead, I had to go for the quick fix and bought a new alternator, Though I will probabley try fixing the old one as a spare is always useful, prior to this happening the rev counter used to stop working ocassionally isn't also a sign of a faulty alternator?

Range Rover Blues:
Yes, IIRC the rev counter works on one phase of the alternator, so it's been living on borrowed time.

Cheggs:
SWMBO just called me at work, the battery light is now coming on when the engine is running, so i take it that means the battery is stuffed or the new alternator isn't doing its job, I shall have to check when I get I should be getting about 14.4v from the alternator shouldn't I :(
