   well yesterday my battery light came on and i thought here we go! I disconnected battery over night, reconnected it then went to a local garage. Now the light does not stay on it just flashes rapidly sometimes, anyway the guy at garage tested battery to see if it was getting charge and he said it was so cant be alternator...what could it be? dodgy battery?

   As above, either a bad connection on the alternator or a bad earth to the chassis
