The battery light was flashing on and off over the last few months sometimes not for days then coming on for a day and going off again.
Last week it came on again but then the abs light and air bag light came on as well.
The car then started to hesitate before coming to a stop and wouldnt start.
I put some jump leads on her and she fired up first time so i changed the battery for a new one but the battery light took a few hours of driving to go out.
I thought everything was ok but the day after (today)the battery light has come on again.
I think its going to be either the alternator or timing chain but can anyone tell me how i can check which one it might be before i buy anything or would you suggest i change both.
Or are there any known faults with battery wiring that i should check also..
Cheers Colin..
