So, the battery light decided to come on and it soon became apparent that the battery wasnt charging. Managed to get home, left it for a few hours and it started no problem,put a meter across the battery and got quite a high reading of about 15 volts. Everything seemed fine until the voltage suddenly dropped to about 11.5v , alternator going round all belts fine. Just stopped charging, cant figure out why. Is the charging circuit controlled by the ECU or is there a seperate reguator/rectifier? Is 15v a normal charging voltage? seems a bit high to me.
