I suspect so, I just need to see what lasting damage has been done to any other bits excepted the battery and alternator.

Sounds similar to my old one - it was a common issue on the 2007 cars - alternator diodes fail, so the alternator tries to turn itself into a motor and burns out. Then takes the battery with it.

I don’t see a connection either Alistair, I was just giving some context to my drive out.

Not being the greatest fan of ECP, I too was going to ask who's alternator is it?

The alternator is their RTX brand.

Got a warranty replacement on the alternator and the battery tested, which showed it was ok.

Cheap, nasty things made by RTX For the very reason you have discovered, we only fit Denso units. Not a job you really want to do twice, especially as a warranty claim ![]() |
