Good post guys, hope all is well, i have an alternator problem here a 1.0L on a 03 plate.Battery don't hold a charge for 2 days ,it was in the garage for last year in a half, but always started once a week, the battery light wasn't coming on at ignition now its coming on when driving and flattens battery after a a day or 2 ? AA guy passing said brushes can seize on them give it a thump with a bit of wood lol. any ideas why it wouldn't come on at ignition and it comes on when i start it ? I need help guys and would a 1.4 s lupo alternator fit as i have the chance of 1 , put a new battery in and flattened that too. any ideas guys ?????
