Had problems losing charge lately, then the other day when I started the car the electrics went crazy.
I decided to limp it home, but then everything kicked in back to normal.
Seemed fine, then it happened again today and seems to be stuck like it.
Harder to start, engine fan goes on, less power, dash goes crazy, indicators go on and off. Sometimes different, but you get it. Seems to drive sorta ok but less power.
Also, there is now suddenly a 'cranking/grinding' type noise straight after start-up, not sure if related.
Could faulty alt cause this?
Or is it an earthing problem? I replaced the tensioner arm the other week which has the earth on it, but it seems fine.
Stressing hard, need it for work Tuesday, if you have any ideas I would appreciate it so much.
