Battery Light . . .

[glendog74]

Need it tomorrow so have stashed a spare battery & jumpers in the boot as a get me home if needed.

That will only help for so long... :banghead:

Cheers GD, yeh, it's an emergency thing so at least I can get to a safe place to park up and wait for the very nice man, or home if not too far away; I may get 20 mins out of it.

It'll be sorted this week

It always happens at a bad time! My daily is dead so relying on the CSL at the mo until I find a replacement! Grrrrrrrrr !

That's my work route Shim, there's no hard shoulder or very little anyway, same on quite a few parts of the M60 and the nasty M60/61 switch.

It takes about 10 secs to switch batteries and get going again - all in-cabin so no need to put myself & others at risk getting out of car.

The lights not lit since and I'm well over 100 miles now, the batteries charging albeit with slightly reduced output from the alternator.

I'm probably bordering on paranoia now!

Don't worry, I think paranoia is in my nature :smt107

I've run the jumpers into the cabin and popped the spare battery behind the passenger seat - "should" be a quick swap and off again. The M60 is no place to be static.

still going strong but . . .

the battery light doesn't come on when I switch the ignition on - I think it's a wiring problem - unless anyone knows another reason why the light isn't coming on????

Will still replace alternator though.
