While testing things I noticed my battery voltage was very high (I'd
just been running the engine). With the engine running the charging
voltage is about 19v. A new, probably more serious, problem. It's a bit
of a coincidence, so I'm wondering if they are linked. Could the high
battery voltage have caused the motor to fail? I'm familiar with low or
no voltage from the alternator, but I don't know what can cause a high
voltage.

Buggered regulator innit? Which translates as new alternator time.

If you've got 19v in your car, time to sort it and fast
