Evening all. Quick query, i had issue with charge depleating in the battery dash and stereo died then the car. Jump start starts 1st time then dies after a minute or two. Thought alternator so got 2nd hand one same thing. Before i get this sent back etc could it be anything else? Checked fuses all g...

I know this isn't specific to your problem but I just fitted a Rover 600 Alternator to my 3g if you can compare your existing alternator to others online you might find it cheaper elsewhere but listed for another car. Plus the reconditioned unit only cost £36. Score mate, done that before ill give ...

So seems the 2nd hand one aint working either.... Not happy
