Today=crazy
Went out to drive Rover, not even no start, but absolutely nothing when I turn the key. Dead battery. And it was fine the day before. Put charger on it and wouldn't even charge. Disconnected negative ground from battery and the battery has a full charge! Hooked battery up and starts and runs fine, but Battery trouble light is on when I turn off the car.
Called my Rover mechanic guy and he is not only out of business, but in Jail.
Found another Rover guy but he is in Norman OK, thats 30 miles from Edmond.
Drove the Rover down the highway 30 miles at 50 mph because I discover that when I try to go any faster the engine cuts out. Seemed like 100 miles. Rover guy in Norman says other Rover guy installed a cheap rebuilt alternator from Advanced Auto Parts and he is surprised it lasted a week.
Getting a Bosch alternator that fits with a little modification and twice the output.
Driving 50 mph for 30 miles on highway very frustrating.
