Hi
This weekend I set off from London to Aberystwyth (a small town on the west
coast of mid wales) and had a fantastic top down drive in beautiful weather.
About halfway there the radio started misbehaving and the indicators stopped
flashing. The indicators had never flashed very well anyway and I figured the
radio was just due to poor reception and the flasher unit had finally given
up the ghost so I continued my journey (flashing manually). After arriving in
Aberystwyth we set out to go to the beach for a walk and I noticed the
ignition light did not come on though the engine started no problem. I checked
the
charge on the batteries with the engines revving quite high 3-4000 and it
did not get over 11.5V or so. I checked the connections on the altenator and
the problem still occurred though upon starting the enging again the ignition
light did come on. I think I probably have a duff altenator, how can I check
for sure that is the problem? What else could it be?
Thanks for your help in advance
