I have got that great little red Japanese writing coming up on the dash the translates to "Alternator not charging the battery"

My question is as the car has been sitting around under cover for last 6 months without a battery in it......is there any fuses etc that could cause this.....hoping it is an easier fix than $$$ on new alternator.

On another note how great are these cars!! sit around for months and months and with 1 turn of the key comes straight back to life first time.

check for power steering pump leaking oil onto the alternator.


If it is put a new kit in it or the leak will stuff the alternator
