It's dying.
would that be the alternator not charging it or the battery had it?
#4: Re: battery light on?? Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu May 10, 2012 12:17 pm ---- the battery i would say is less than 1 year old the alternator is original i would imagine hmm ill multimeter it now
would that be the alternator not charging it or the battery had it?
If the alternator wasn't working, then the battery light would stay on rather than go off as soon as he drives

Or the alternator or battery are on the way out.

When I rev it over 3k it goes off?? What sort of lead could I be looking for that may be loose? my dad said could be the bushes in the alternator?
Belt seems fine and tight.
#9: Re: battery light on?? Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu May 10, 2012 2:14 pm ---- did you not check the voltage?
#10: Re: battery light on?? Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu May 10, 2012 2:20 pm ---- Yes mate
When the light is on it was 12.something volts
Then when it was revved and the light went off it was at 14.somthing volts
As said above its a loose or corroded cable. If you don't know what your looking for and care about your car take it to a professional... PLEASE

If I didn't care about it I wouldn't spends ££££s on it mate I was looking for advice if any one had the same problem.
It just seems funny how revving it past 3k turns the light off and everything is normal, could be the alternator packing up so I'll change that 1st

Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri May 11, 2012 11:01 am ---- Hmmm all seems fine now, battery light is staying off and it's charging as normal, just could of been that the alternator is on it's way out so I'm getting one any way so I no it's changed as I haven't changed it and I've had the car 5 years.
