Hi everyone,

Was driving my 06 euro luxury and the 'battery' light began showing. Was able to continue driving with the light still showing for a period of time. Whilst driving, lost power and the engine stalled and was unable to re-start the engine. Initially thought that it was a battery issue. Was going to replace with a new battery, but some further reading seems to indicate that the alternator may need to be replaced.
Is it the battery or the alternator?
if it is the alternator, where is the best place to get it replaced at?
thanks.

Replaced the alternator and the car is running as normal.
Good 'ol Honda quoted $1350, for a new Honda alternator. Went to the local auto electrician to get the job done for half the price.
