Evening,
I just got back from filling up for the week, when I noticed the voltmeter looked a bit low. I pulled over just to check and switched the engine off, tried to start and it wouldn't I managed to get it started while I was on the phone to the RAC and planned on taking it for a run - I do 60 miles a day though so a battery shouldn't be flat.
On my way home the voltmeter dropped to zero, the discharge, SRS and ABS warning lights came on, the LED clock and touchscreen display went off (although the touchscreen was flickering on breifly), and eventually the gearbox mode light went off.
Does anyone know where I need to start looking? It won't start at the moment. It doesn't sit around so there's no reason for a flat battery, I can only think one (or both) have died, or it's the alternator.
Thanks,
Steve.
