i was muckin about under the bonnet of my car the outherday and i droped my spanner inbatween the altonator and the manafold - makeing a massive spark, and now my battery isnt receveing any charge... sri_alan seems to think its the altonator because none of the fuzes have poped but i think i have fucked the battery.... what do u think?

the spanner is out now before you say
 
Sounds like you may have popped the fusible link. I dunno if it's separate, in the fusebox near the battery, on the N15 or if it's on the main battery cable.
 
do u think i should get a new battery and see before i try anything else or just habnd it into a garage?
 
Check the 75A fusible link. It'll be in a fuse/relay box near the battery. It probably that, that's what they're for, to protect the wiring in the event of a short.
 
Gurr, I remember looking at that 75A one under that cover that Mark is talking about, so thats where it is (bigger fuse box with pink writting next to the red terminal).
 
yeah ive had a look and all the smaller ones are fine so u think it will be the bigger ones then?
 
test your battery with a bettery tester.if it reads somewere between 10.6 and 12.00 volts its fine. To test your alternator either use a battery tester again (tell you if its charging) or use your multimetre, turn all your electrics on in the car and see if the voltage drops, If it does then your alternator is banjoe'd. Hope this helps bro...
 
same thing happened to me everytime i rev'd the car it would beep and all the electrics would come back on.
