Re the alternator light - it went out as I turned off the motorway and into traffic. Drove 200 miles today, no warning light.
I did notice that today the voltage was reading 14.0 ish most of the time, whereas yesterday it was 13.5 ish. As this car has been little used (600 miles in the last year) I wonder if the gel battery was a bit out of condition, and has been corrected by 360 miles of steady driving in the last few days.
Today we came home to N.Yorks via the Humber Bridge - great views, and over the moors via Kirkbymoorside, stopping for a quick half in the Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge (and a photo - will post). She's purring now with a few hundred miles use, I guess we're still running in (2900 miles clocked). Easy 70 on the M-ways, and 40mpg overall so far. Hood down all the way!
On the subject of the battery, I am considering a battery conditioner to keep it "topped up" over the winter period. Anyone use the CTEK 3600? Presumably I can run it through the lighter socket?
Cheers
Nigel
