My first car was an ancient Renault that was plagued with electrical issues, to the point that it was actually pretty funny. I was also a penniless student at the time and I don't know how to fix cars, so I just sort of put up with it.
It used to drain the battery when it was parked, so I kept a spare battery in the boot and some jumper cables and used to have to jump-start it every time I switched the engine off.
One time I was driving at night and the headlights started dimming until they were nearly off, I turned the radio off and they came back on again.
Eventually I finally took it to the scrap yard, they said it was worthless but they gave me £10 for the tape deck lol.
Technically the worst car I ever had, but also one of my favourites.
I'll never forget my dad bought a used Renault Alliance because he saw an old Consumer Reports magazine that had it as "car of the year". What he didn't see was the article where they retracted the title. It was a money pit
Sounds like the generator had issues
