The battery light came on while waiting, for 20min, to get onto the freeway. The mechanic tested to charge and said it was to low, therefore alternator need replacing. The battery was replaced less than 12 months ago. Can I do this job myself? Have done brakes, and do maintenance on the my cars, even replaced the auto transmission on my XB ford. Cant get my hands on a manual. Would appreciate step by step instructions. Thanks Mal
