UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Battery light started coming on at low revs/ standstill. Became intermittent later in journey. So the question is, alternator or battery connection?? Bizarrely the battery light means alternator usually. The book might say that but I found it out from YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hit with a £2500 odd bill to fix my car when it’s value is about £3000 and it might not even be guaranteed to be fully sorted. Any advice on how best to get rid of it (i.e. get the most money possible)? Scrappy is offering about £100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Bonksy I got £250 each for a Kia Picanto and a Citroen Berlingio. Had them in for £350 spares or repair. Worth a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
