Urgent help needed!
URGENT HELP NEEDED!
I'm due to go to Holland on Thursday with the club to attend the Best of British show. Everything's been paid for and now my cars just broken down. I had the Charge fault light come on this morning and then on my way home, I got a symbol (circle with a V and a +/- with an arrow pointing to the minus side) come on my ipk, as I parked up everything lit up like a Christmas tree and had ABS fault, traction control faults come up. I've just changed out the alternator regulator for a new one and also the brushes. Stuck a new battery on and checked and the battery symbol is still coming on. Checked the ipk diagnostics and its showing 11.7 volts from the alternator. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Looks like the alternator has had it

I am far from competent with the spanners but I would suspect the alternator

Check fuse 14 in the passenger compartment fusebox straight away
Second row from left, fifth up from bottom Failing that, it's probably the alternator, or associated wiring Brian |

PM me a contact number, and I'll see if I can dig out an alternator for you if you feel up to changing it over

You can change the booking for a later date for the tunnel and use it another time.

Ive managed to fix it, after changing the battery, regulator, brushes and checking the fuse to eliminate them, it could only really have been the alternator. Managed to fit a new alternator from the top today in around 3 hours so the Holland trip is back on 😁 thanks for all the comments to help out. 👍
