Hi all,
Had to jump start mini tonight so took for a drive to give it some charge. Drove about 5 miles then stopped to check what had fallen over in the boot and it cut out as I tried to pull away A mate came out to jump it and it started straight away, but cut out as soon as lights were turned on. Tried to jump again and I noticed I had no ignition light on. Checked batt and alternator connections and changed ignition warning light bulb to no avail. Borrowed the battery from a mates yaris to get home and the ignition warning light was lit but very dim. From these findings would it seem I've fried the alternator.
It regularly has to charge the battery from completely empty as the battery is very worn out. I've not been able to check voltages as the minis battery is to flat to start it at the moment.
Cheers
