Battery
Toyota MR2 MK2 N/A - Battery ? Regulator ? Alternator ?
After returning to my car after work everything seemed ok. It started first time and everything. But whilst i was driving home i noticed the battery guage decreasing, the battery light appeared and the sterio was cutting out. This was really annoying and right away i could see my battery was draining by the second, unless i kept the revs high. 1st and 2nd gear was the worset but once i was in 4th gear doin 30mph+ the battery guage increased to normal. Luckly i returned home ok, but the minute i turned the car off i tried to start it instanly but the battery was dead. Immediately the Alternator sprung to mind, so i tested this by leaving the interior light on, started the car car with a mobile jump start kit then disconnected it. Then when appyied revs the interior light did brighten. Im totally stuck, i dnt wonna go out and buy a battery to find it flat within a week. Any ideas and suggestions welcome.
