Battery Light came On Today

Hi all fellow x5ers,
my battery light is on, so it appears I have an alternator problem. The belt is on and I have checked the charge and there is none
Does anyone know if there is a fuse or a common problem here or is it just going to be another $10m fix.
Cheers from Downunder.

No fuse there, just the alternator... I feel your pain, just had to replace the 180 amp water cooled alt. on mine. $$$$ is right!

Look around for places that rebuild alternators, generators and starters. Generally they can save you $$$ and warranty there units also.
