Anyone with any ideads , the bad luck is im on holiday in germany as well , could this be alternator or a wiring problem ? Many thanks for any help



battery should be about 12.5v left overnight (shinier happy ones could be 13v)

start the car and let it idle for around 3 mins, alternator should put out 14.2 to 14.4 volts

if you don't get the 14v when running alternator or some other wiring likely at fault.... if the battery is old and been draining till flat, might have finished that off too

All sorted faulty battery making alternator overwork caused alternator to break , refurbed alternator and new battery sorted it out
