i have just had my car in the garage and it had the diagnostic equipment on it looking for my running problem which is as follows when u hit 3000-ish revs the car engine managment light comes on with the abs light and it judders around!

so the mechanic said that the car is only charging at 9-10 volts and hence when the car gets up to higher revs it is not charging enough to run everything hence the lights and juddering!

anyone fancy putting there opion on this!

It's the alternator mate.

Does the battery light come on at higher revs? Is the problem getting gradually worse? Does the radio cut out then the engine?

They go, it's common, stick a working one in and try it out.
