Just want a second opinion from you guys if you would?
Long story short, my alternator has started moaning on tickover and whining when revved, has a burning smell and light smoke coming from that area (small torch in the dark doesnt show much lol) and the (!) light and battery light have come on permanently, definately goosed alternator isnt it, whats you guys think as it was tested earlier today and it was ever so slightly overcharging but the guy said it was nothing to worry about really!
But that was after the lights had come on for a few mins then gone out, no noise was coming from the alt, nor warning lights on the dash at the time, went home and about five hours later fired it up to almost supercharger-esque whining, and constant battery warning lights on the dash:cry:
