Parked or not parked .. answer this:

Did you run the engine with the negative cable disconnected from the battery?.

If "yes", you may have already done-in the alternator. It doesn't take long or it dosn't need a "loaded" engine...as if you're driving.

PARKED may do it too !

PS- perhaps RoninLB or other electrical gurus can chime in here.

PPS - Bentley Manual for Carrera, page 900-2 , Electrical System-General... fourth bullet paragraph under "CAUTION"- - ->

(quote) ...."do not disconnect the battery with engine running" ...(unquote)
