battery light

[Bealo]

This bloody happened to me this morning!!!

Managed to get car home... just... called BMW ES and within 40 mins a mech was at my house. Checked it out and confirmed it as alternator. It was on the back of a truck no more than 1 1/2 hours later and i've just received a BMW 3 series hire car for 1 week. :thumbs:

Got to say i'm well impressed with the speed and quality of the service.

Scary how many alternators are failing though.

Yep mine went 2 weeks ago, light been and off for ages, then once stayed one I called the BM ES guys, he followed me rather than stick it on a trailer, but it coasted to a halt about 5 miles into my journey to the dealer, good job he was behind me and stuck on a new battery.

:bigcry:

What on earth is happening here...!? Mine has started today, again only above 6-7k... nothing below that. Wonder if I need to worry about it for now as I really fancy breakfast club on Sunday but at the same time don't fancy being stranded in the middle of nowhere. :banghead:
