The tension on the belt was fine, but recently the light has been coming on slightly lower down the rev range. Today however on leaving Monaco the battery light came on perminantely and eventually the van conked out when i slowed down at a petrol station. The batteries were both completely dead obviously where they had not been charging. We bump started it again, but then it conked out again when we slowed for a toll booth. Anyway we gave it one more try and the light actually dissapeared and the battery charged up again! So we managed to make it to the Ardeche where we intend to stay for a week, but i fear the problem will re-occur on our travels back up to catch the Ferry. I was just wondering if anyone new what might have caused this? I have some friends flying out and i was going to get them to bring an alternator with them, but when it started working again i wasn't sure whether this was the source of the problem?
If anyone has any suggestions of what to check or what might be wrong i would really appreciate it!
