Battery Troubles

[pieman[vrs]]

Hey,

 

Not posted in a while hope you are all keeping well?

 

Been having some issues with the battery, car would not turn over so I tried to jump it with the van and it wouldn't hold charge so I called RAC man and he rekoned the alternator had packed up - low signal fault at alternator.

 

So ordered a bosch s4 battery and a bosch alternator, fitted the battery tonight and the car starts up but there is no batery on the dash so am guessing its not charging?

 

have also checked the wiring to the alternator and the loom under the battery all seems ok.

 

So I gonna fit the alternator tomorrow, looked in the hanes and it seems simple enough I was just worried about removing the aux belt got any tips? :evil: 

 

Also when I removed the battery tray I did not note where the hose came from so any pointers on that would be great too!

 

Thanks in advance

The battery tray drain hose just pokes through the side of the car somewhere near the power steering pump.

Just went out and had a look at mine for you. The drain pipe goes through the inner wing at the point  where the filler neck of the washer bottle goes through.
