  1. Hello guys, Quick question, i went on holiday for a week and when i got home at 3:30am and went to drive home, my car started as usual, driving home the battery low warning came on along with all sorts of other lights. tested my battery which was fine, recharged it fully and refitted. withing 2 seconds of been started the light came on this time.

    when i turn the steering wheel, the battery light goes off for 15/20 seconds then comes back on, in this time the battery reads 13v+, once the light comes back on it only reads 11V

    the car doesn't cut out

    im presuming its the alternator on the way out, just strange how when moving the steering, presuming its electrical pump it kicks the alternator into life-ish

    anything else to check ?

    cheers for any input (:
