FTO AUSTRALIA

last nite after work i got in the the car and she didnt start, didnt even try. the electrics were working but only just.
i got it jump started and it that worked fine untill i turned the headlights on and it died again!!

i got a new battery, jumped it again and success! it worked with headlights ect so i drove home and left it over night and now is completely dead again!!! i had the starter motor replaced only a month ago or so and its not a fuse.

im thinking the alternator is at fault now, can anyone offer another suggestion?

if it is then does anyone have one they dont need lol

thanks in advance

sounds exactly like an alternator problem to me

Sorry it simply sounds like the alternator to me, how much was your starter motor replacement though mate?

definitly alternator, wats your gr or gpx

thanks guys

sorry to tell you oodLes i couldnt get a referb soon enough so i got a new one for $380 if you need one id ask dstocks, he could probably do better than that

its a gpx

this may sound dumb...but when i got my new battery i had to sit in the car and rev it for like 30 mins....without doing this the car would turn on, the revs would go up a bit, then drop straight down and die....but i guess this isnt your same problem..ohh well...

is it still doing it now? does it do it all the time or only when cold, cause it sounds like stepper motor
