The alternator on the old girl started being a bit noisy last week and went quiet when i put it under load i.e. put the lights on, and went noisy again when i switched them off. Checked the battery and was 12.26v so i thought it must still working. She did a couple of short trips since and was ok. Got in her this morning and battery almost dead and would'nt start. Hooked her up to the works van and she started ok but stalled when i took the leads off. I presume this is because the battery was flat and the alternator was not working and was no power to keep the fuel pump working. Hooked her back up to the van for about 20 mins to get her up to temperature and she was fine after that. Can't find my multimeter so i can't check the battery voltage but it seems to point to the alternator to me. What do you guys think ? The battery light did not come on though as i thought they did when an alternator was'nt charging the battery. Your thoughts please peeps
