    Ive got this problem, lad that had the car before me left an adaptor thing inside the car on when he left for the day, battery died, light came on. Bought a new one, light stayed on... Still worrying incase its alternator or something

    Mine flashes on and off depending on driving style, and has been for 5 years.

    Some local garages can test the alternator for nothing, apart from main dealer probably

    get a voltmeter and put it across the battery posts when its running and you shoulld get around 14v and check all the wiring is conected to the alternator properly, all plugs in securely ect
