Having problems with my 2006 1.4hdi diesel 206 Peugeot. My husband has put on a new starter motor and alternator an a new heavy duty battery and still my battery isn't charging. My battery light came on today and this is how it started before changing all the parts. Any ideas what else could be the problem? I'm fed up stressing where and when I'm gonna break down and how much it's all costing, any advice would be great thank you.

Does the battery charge using a charger?

Is the alternator brand new, or second hand?

Is the belt correctly set?

Are the connections clean, earth straps seated correctly, and terminal leads all in good condition?

Thank you, I will double check all of that with my husband, pretty sure they are all new but will check

It wouldn't start originally, hence changing start motor, then we changed alternator coz thought we had knackered alternator by starter motor not working. Then other day the battery light on and day or so later I couldn't start her and had no power. Put on new battery and all been fab for about a week, now battery light come on for last day and so I'm worried that battery is about to die again, it's brand new battery so should be working, but seems something is amiss as its not keeping charge. Will get hubby to check voltage tho as u mentioned, not sure if he has

Check the belt and alternator pulley, double check the lead from the alternator to the battery.
