I was the rac contractor for my area and was sent out to a micra that had a flat battery when I got there there where 4 people and the micra, I said when did you first notice the problem he said the lights went dim and it lost a little power at conway 30mls back it smelt a little oily but they when trying to get back to newcastle on tyne so he had put his foot down to make it go , I lifted the bonnet and said oh yes I can see why its not charging... the con rod had knocked off the piece of block the alternator was bolted onto !! it had lost its belt, the sump was empty and was obviously only running on 3 but the stoic little micra had battled on till the coil didnt have enough power and it stopped ! They said can you fix it !! ER NO...
