its a 1.7 diesel, the brake pedal only goes down like about half a centermeter, no matter how hard i push it wont go any further, would the alternator explain this aswell?

sounds like a knackered alternator to me. Brake pedal isnt working since master cylinder isnt getting any juice.

make sure u dont drive alot coz your cars running purely on the battery and could cut out and loose all power at any time
