Battery light on HELP
Hi All
I have a 2005 Disco3 and I have replaced the Battery 2months ago and everything has been fine until today I went out drove about 2 miles and the battery light has popped on.
The alternator belt is ok
It seems to be charging
Diagnostics never showed anything up
Does anyone think it needs a new alternator are they prone to going and how difficult a job is it do you takle it from the top or the bottom
Or am I missing something simple
Your help would be much apprecisted
cheers
