What's your opinions on doing the run down to the dyno day (and back) with no alternator?

I'm OK doing my daily commute(with a couple of hours on charge every 1-2 nights), but I ain't sure about a 100+ mile juant.

I figure I can take the charger with me, and top it up when we get there, but I am not sure if I would get there?

Personaly thats a long way to go with no alternator mate. If it was summer i might risk it but you only need bad weather when you need heater,lights wipers for the battery to be drained pretty quick

If I was taking the Caddy, I'd say you could borrow the 'Maros . . . I did have one kicking about the garage but binned it on a clear-out because I was unsure of the condition.

THe chav'scorts one is available . . .
