Earthing could be slightly shoddy

Alternator could be faulty

Battery could be knackered

Check all your connections to the battery

If all else fails get it to a Sparky and see whats happening

Lazy regulator that's all some go like that, will no doubt soldier on for years, but won't hurt to check connections anyway.
