The temperature outside drops so of course a problem occurs with my L322.
Better half reported that the battery was flat on Monday, I get back after being away and fit a battery I bought a month back as the current one wasn't holding charge too well (or was it actually just fine).
All okay for a mile, then next time I start the engine my battery warning light pops up. 12.05 at the battery so no alternator charge getting that far.
Now before I go and replace the alternator are there any basic tests I can do before the wallet has to open before Christmas and I have to drain the bloody coolant again!

p.s. found these alternators - "very good pri" but they could be knock offs...
