I own a Citroen Berlingo 1.9 diesel van 2004 reg.
I was driving along yesterday when the battery light came on.
I continued to the shops and when I came out of the shops the van wouldn't restart. My friend came and jump started it with his car, the van started straight away and didnt need much encouragement. At this point the battery light went off. I proceeded to drive home and left the van on the drive. Two hours later I retried the van and it started perfectly. This morning I tried the van again and it started fine once more. I tried the van for a 3rd time about 2 hours ago and the van started fine also. I have just tried the van again now ans the van wont start anymore and the battery light is on. The battery is about 2 years old and I only use the van for small journeys most of the time. Does this sound like the need for a new battery or possible alternator problem? Thank you,
