Starting problem

[beecee]

The battery is less than a year old so should be good , ive given all terminals a good clean and left it on trickle for a couple of hours and it started fine . ill head down to mechanics shortly and report back

FRT for alternator is an hour, its not a particularly difficult job, just like most jobs in a Beat engine bay, access is not great.

Your biggest problem would be finding a new alternator, a genuine one from Honda is discontinued, so you would need to look to the after market or a specialist repair of your one it thats the problem, or I suppose a used one, but then as useual with used parts, what are you getting!! it could be as bad as the one you have.

First off , thanks for the replies , but as you suspected it was just the battery , which is 9 months old , it was a Halfords battery , but after a bit of a row because I had no receipt they agreed to change it under warranty , all back Working now .
