Sounds like the power went out of the Battery.  Means either the Battery is Kaput or there may be a problem with the alternator.

The alternator charges up the Battery as the engine runs, so if the alternator isn't working, the power of the Battery is drained away by the lights, radio and eventually the power to the spark plugs and so the engine stops.

The thing to do is ask to see that the new or repaired alternator is providing power.  The alternator should be providing a charge around 12V.  This can easily shown to you by the Mechanic using a simple multimeter.  Ask to see what charge it is supplying.

Best of luck.

Cheers for that.

Must take a night course at the local tech and learn all about this stuff, cause haven't a clue

Why do you think it is the Altenator?   As Tyrone Girl said it was the battery at fault.  Get someone who knows to have a look at it.

Was in town (Enniskillen traffic!!!) when radio went off, then lights on dashboard started flashing, then tried to indicate whoch wouldn't work, power steering stopped working and finally the engine cut out.

Had a word with mechanic and thats what he thought it was, he's picking her up later

Went to it last year, paid 100 or so euros for it and was disapponted big style. Don't get me wrong it was pretty good just nowhere near the money, so saying you're gettin it free probably worth it. We had the VIP passes which gets you backstage. Absolute balls, you have some dub kn**ker tellin you to hurry up cause he has a home to go to(yeah right!) whilst you are herded like cattle through it.

Make sure you wrap up cause it was feckin freezin

I went to school with one of the fellas who did this. Never knew he had an interest in anything like this. I'd say there would have been a few scary moments

after tonight results thats 5 defeats in 6 games not very good ehh?

Are you a idiot?


That was a great game to watch,Arsenal play some great football
Was happy with Degen and Aquaman looked good..
Could I give a f**k about the result  ??? I think not.
It was a good run out for the fringe players but there are far more important games ahead.

idiot nope

I think asking the question is the idiotic part, whether that makes you an idiot is up for discussion
