on my bro's mr2 coming home 2day, the radio just cut out while driving, then when i used the wipers they were very slow, then the rev counter cut out and the car just bout limped home,

 

tried to start car again but the battrey was dead!!

 

charged the battrey then started the car and put a voltmeter across the terminals i had 11.55 volts but they were slowly decreasing went down to 11.50 volts in bout 10 secs!!

 

disconected the battrey as the car was running and it just cut out!!

 

shouldent the car stil run when you disconect the battrey?? i know its not good for the alternator but it proves it is working,

 

i think that the car is running off the battrey and the alternator is shafted what do you guys think??

yep fooked alty mate.

Cant help with an alternator, but ive got a fully reconditioned starter motor for an SW20 uk model sitting in my garage that my brother had done before selling the mr2 and moving out, so if anyone wants one, give us a shout!!
