Hey all, had the worst mornin...drive a few hundred yards up the road was at the junction on a hill, in a line of traffic, had heaters on full, wipers on, lights on, and music on (sub, amp, 6x9\'s, headunit), then the battery light flashed...and the car died...
Tried about 5 times to get her goin again, then waited an hour and a half for recovery man...
He gets there turns the ignition and the beast starts first time! i mean wats goin on!!
He was spendin ages trying fiddling around but nothing wrong he said. Then i drove away, and nothing else has happened since...im baffled as to wat it could be...he sed the battery was fine too!!
He suggested some diagnostic tests...so not sure wat to do, any ideas how much they will cost, or has this happened to someone before! all suggestions please!! thanks....and sorry to moan on...

if the batterey light is still on, check the output on the alternator and if the belt is tight or not
