My daughter was driving over to us in the Jaguar XF 3.0L diesel, when the battery warning light came on. From everything I have read, this indicates a charging/alternator fault.
She made it to us and now she has left it here and nicked my Lexus.
As it's a Jaguar I am not sure if it's an actual fault and not just a random Jaguar electrical glitch and don't really want to spend €650 unless I am sure it needs it.
I have had it running for 30 minutes with everything (ac, lights,radio, windscreen wipers) running and no light on.
There is an auto electrician where I can get it tested about 10 miles away, but I am not sure of the range I might have if it fails and don't really fancy being stranded.
Any suggestions? I had a multimeter at one time, but can't find it now. Would it be a good idea to get another?
