I was driving through richmond last sunday when i noticed that the radio cut out suddenly and the lights were getting dimmer as i go.Then some how i happend to come to a grinding hault near a servo which sold Car batteries @ 11pm on a Saturday night!.... stoke of luck.
That seemd to have fixed the problem , but today the battery is almost dead again??.... Could it be the Alternator?
And if anoyone has a spare one around id be glad to get my hands on it,and see if that fixes up the problemo.
Im in Sydney

I had a similar prob with my hatch, except not as bad. When I put my headlights and blinkers on at the same time, the headlights would dim with the blinkers. It ended up being a connection between two plugs that run from the alternator. Apparently there is one behind the headlights or thereabouts. Try checking these out first cause alternators are pretty expensive. Hope that helps
