This car is my girlfriends, last year during the summer his problem occurred, whilst driving the car it would randomly cut out and her battery light would flash, she had it serviced and since had an mot, nothing was found, and now in the last few days its been happening again. She's due to have a job interview on Monday, and has a long journey to get there, and can't afford to get it looked at unless totally necessary, any help or advice? Thankx

1ST THING.....HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED.....MANY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES WILL CHECK IT FOR FREE............SOMETIMES THEY DO A "FULL SYSTEM TEST", THIS WILL INCLUDE THE OPERATION OF THE ALTERNATOR/ GENERATOR

IF THE BATTERY PROVES TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER
