Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link

Turning lights off made no difference, and revving the enging made no difference .....

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can any one advise what the ampmeter thingy should read when engine running, The last few months my unit has been showing approx 13+ Amps ..... Today on two v short journies First journey just over 12, second journey with lights on just under 12. Turning lights off made no difference, and revving the enging made no difference ..... Is something about to pack up.

POST 2Original post

mine reads approx 14v after start and then slowly drops back to about 13.8 after a reasonable run. jetbox

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oh joy, I look forward to the expense..... must be the colour, mine is also Guards Red

POST 4Original post

Go to a good Auto Electrians who should be able to service your own for around £100 mark. Usually when something goes it normally the diode pack or worn bushes. Here in Lancashire that what I was quoted at [link=http://www.ribblesdaleauto.co.uk/html/home/default.php]>>Ribblesdaleauto<<[/link]

POST 5Original post

BTW: its a voltmeter, not an ampmeter; hence measures the voltage (potential difference) across the battery terminals, rather than the amps (current) flowing in or out of the battery. The latter is rather more useful for diagnosing alternator problems, but very few (if any) cars have ampmeters these days.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Car is at Parrs and they tell me that the Alternator is faulty, and will install new, Car was already booked in for a service and a few other bits and pieces, so should get it back Mon/Tue all working .... Good news though it had a very good Varta Battery. Thanks for all help and suggestions.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just a short update ..... The Alternator has failed .... Reason.... The Engine Oil Breather pipe had collapsed internally and spewed oil everywhere. This is a very expensive repair, see my other post on MOT and Oil leaks
