   hi guys
   
   my lexus has just developed a problem, not sure whether its the battery or the alternater,
   
   basically got in my car this morning , and it struggled to start, and all the digital clocks had been reset, did a 50 mile journey to work, turned the car off and tried to restart it with no joy , never done this before
   
   hope someone can help me
   
   cheers guys

   got to be either the battery or the alternator?
   
   try another battery? if it starts with that then after running for abit turn it off, if it wont start again its the alternator not charging the battery...?
