Help!
Have just returned from an aborted trip to see a friend which ended with me having to push my 911 up my drive out of the road with the aid of some passing kids!
My problem on the face of it seems electrical. it started fine but within about 5mins of driving with lights and fan on, it developed a bit of a stutter. i pulled over and the revs were kind of 'blipping' up and down. i turned off the lights and it seemed to settle. waited a few moments and then pulled away again. as soon as i put the lights on it went haywire again!
i mananged to limp back to my house (lights on half) where it idled ok for a couple of minutes, before stopping altogether. everything electrical was dead.
a few weeks back, the battery was flat, but i checked it for water (seemed ok) and recharged. everything was fine until now.
does this sound like a charging issue (alternator) or am i barking up the wrong tree?
i was planning on giving the only porsche specialist i know in my area (la rose, kent) a ring in the morning.....
