oakey 57 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Just had the disco back from the garage with a brand new clutch went well through all the snow .But now it seems i may have a problem with the alternator it starts sometimes but then its as though you have a flat battery charge it up and its ok for a couple days then flat again .Had the battery into Halfords as its only just 2 years old with a 3 year guarantee but it checked out OK what do you think i should do no money left for a new alternator might just keep charging it with a battery charger under the bonnet with a extension cable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
