hey started the car yesterday started no probs but my batt light was still on and is still on now drives ok but with that light on do you think my alternater is shagged ?

May be the auxillary belt. Or maybe even something simple as loose wiring.

Does the belt screech? does the alternator make any noises? check the battery terminals arent covered in sh*te and all earthing points are good and not broken or loose.

 

[Corsa Sam]

oh yes the belt shouts at you when you start it lol

 

[Lyds_corsa_b]

You'll have to get it changed then matey. Shouldn't cost much.

Alternator belt will take you probably 5mins then, if that. PM me when you decide to do it and I'll talk you through it.

Go to Andrew Page's in town, at the back of Smith & Nephew. You'll be able to get one for about £3 IIRC.

Always try there before anywhere else, you'll get the parts at just over trade price.
