What it does

The alternator charges the battery and powers the car while it runs; the starter turns the engine over. Electrical faults often show up as warning lights, rough running or no-start problems, and the right replacement part clears the cause rather than the symptom.

Installation & tips

• Disconnect the battery before working on the alternator or starter, and clean the cable ends.
• Battery: A weak battery is hard on a new alternator.
• Drive belt: A slipping belt mimics a bad alternator.
• Disconnect the battery before you unplug or splice any wiring, and test everything works before you refit trim panels.
