Hello James.
As per what Chris G said.
Take a good look at the wires from the alternator.
My first thought was the alternator when this happened to my 2+2.But when I
fitted the new alternator, I found the thick wire that sends power back to the
battery was fraid ie falling apart.
Hope this helps.Regards Robert.

Hi James, I've had a similar problem in the past, the alternator
is very susceptible to all weathers down there. When I bought the car, the
problem was the after market dashboard and as Jim says the alternator light was
wired incorrectly to enable charging to start. Last year a new alternator
seemed to have cured another charging issue, but in the end it was the
connectors, if you take the alternator black plug to pieces, check that the
spade terminals inside haven't corroded. (mine had)

Hiya folks
Q2-002 is in disgrace at the moment... As well as a burst heater hose (to be
fixed when it is dry!), she is having charging issues if anyone can offer any
advise please?The charge light is on very dimly most of the time at all rev
speeds, when running with no load the voltage is 13.9-14.1V, when the
headlights are on it drops to 13.2V or so. If I put everything on (heater fan
/ fog lights / brake lights etc), then the volts drop to 12.5V or so. If I
charge the battery over a weekend, and leave over a couple of days (it is my
daily drive so can't leave longer!), then the battery holds the charge, and
does not seem to significantly drop.When on tickover at 800rpm on the rev
counter, the volts drop down to 12.7V or so, but go up when revved very
slightly.Finally 2nd strange thing, when I 1st start the car, I have to rev up
to 2000rpm to get the red light to turn off / go dim.
I have had a new battery and a recon alternator with the original pulley wheel
last year.These were changed as I the battery was going flat, and thought these
were the issue, but the original setup did not have the dim ignition light
issue...
Can anyone advise if it is a duff battery, or duff alternator, and is there an
easy way to check? Or any other suggestions please? Is it worth taking a wire
directly from the alternator to the battery?
Best regardsJames TQ2-002www.bostin.photography
