HI All,
On my way home from work today I noticed my battery dash light stayed on for longer than normal and then went out after about 20-25 seconds, during thistime I did rev the engine.
THen i notice my wipers seem a little slow. 20-25 min of motorway driving later my dash lights tuen off when i brake, lights are dim and wipers very slow.
I managed to get home with these being the only sympotoms, turned the car off and then tried to start it...no luck, not turning over really, just a weak whirring. then after stopping to tuenthe key a starnge rapid clicking noise from under the bonnet.
IU left it for 10-15 mins tops then on the off chance tried again. The battery light again stayed on a little while, maybe less than before but this time the dash lights worked when braking, lights and wipers seemed ok.
I reved the engine for a little while, maybe 30 seconds of on/off reving and nothing bad seemed to happen, dash lights seemed fine.
A long winded story I know but any ideas whats up?
Thanks all.
