i really hope someone can help coz im in a bit of a pickle. a few days ago my generator light flashed on for a bit whilst driving, i turned engine off, then back on again and all was fine. However starting has been getting more difficult and today whilst driving it came on again, my lights dimmed, and car stopped. I put a new battery in the car, hoping this would get me home and it did, but generator light is still on- am i right in thinking that my generator is stuffed- if it is how long can i drive the car before the battery fails on me as im staying about 40 miles (on motorway) away from home and tools!!!! the battery is brand new so is this likely to get me home? would it be better if i drive in day etc so as no lights on?
