I bought a 05 reg ka accident damage a while ago, repaired the front end but the alternator had damage and two of the wires to it was traped to the body, repaired the wiring and replaced the alternator but the charge light was still on dash and the battery wasnt charging (start the car, it goes out then after 20 seconds it illuminates). nxt i sent it off to auto sparky who diagnosed it as a ecu fault, fitted a recon one at £190 but still no joy and told me the alternator was also shagged!!

so i picked the car up tonite and battery was flat tow started it and it seemed to run fine starting up running all the electrics all nite but the battery light was still lite, then it died once, got it going again and then its been fine again, any ideas much appreciated as im not sure if this electrition is trying to fleece me for more cash or not and the car is doing my head in!! cheers matt
