STOP and Battery light.

Am I right in thinking the alternator is shot?.

I put the multimeter on the battery when its running with nothing else switched on and it was kicking out 12ish volts and I know their supposed to kick out 14ish.

Could be the battery I suppose. Any way to eliminate one or the other?.

It's either the battery or alternator, or both!

Most likely the alternator m8

Cool, I'm pretty confident it is. Even if the battery was dead, the alternator should still be kicking out 14v when ticking over. Plus its whining I think.

Aux belt off for the 3rd time I guess!.

I've ordered an alternator should be in tomorrow.

Just done another multimeter test, on idle the alternator is chucking out 12.07 volts and when the engine is shut off the battery voltage seems to increase bizarrely.

I'm sure I can smell a whiff of burning coming from the alternator too. Pretty confident its that now.
