Just been to get some oil and stuff for the mk2 and was driving my 8v 1600 xr2i home and the battery light came on, not bright but was brighter when switched the indicators on etc...

Ok, fan belts snapped or slipping i thought, possibly alternator fooked. So i get home, fan belts on and tight, alt must be fooked i though....

So i knocked the ignition off, took the keys out and the battery light is still on

Anyone know why or whats causing it ?

Cheers.
