took the car out today after fully charging the battery. whilst driving around the battery light would come on but very dim and would then go off again after a period of time, didn't seem to affect the car in any way. i switched the car off and then on again and the light went out but would come on again down the road. just after any info so i can sort out another little problem. The car's getting there just got to get a bit more confidence reliability wise thanks for any help.
( The volt gauge was reading about 12 volt if this is any help )

 

my battery light used to be on dimley,turned out to be fuse box also had other little niggley electrical probs new box sorted it probley not the same but you never know

 

Had the fuse box out, took apart checked all joints and everything was ok that was last month so i dont think it is that

 

Alternator, not charging properly, get it checked with a proper voltmeter at any decent local garage... should be around 14V whilst driving..

 

can i just put a meter on the battery and rev the car that should show me 14 volts if all is well ?

 

yeah

also load it up at idle, ie all lights on and heater blower see what reads then rev it to 2kish see what is then

 

cheer's will give that a go, just one other thing can you get replacment diode packs for the alternator ta

 

probably
