My 206 cuts out like seconds after being started, sometimes struggles to start. Sometimes it cuts flat out when I dip the clutch. My dash lights all constantly dim then go back to normal in the car. Is this alternator ?

Could be alternator, do the headlights go dim aswell and then bright when you rev? But im not 100% sure this would cause it to cut out... although im probably wrong, but sounds like alternator. Somebody else should be able to clarify.

Could be a earth strap.

When you say struggles to start, does the starter motor turn over really slowly? Need to get a multimeter across your battery really, it would tell you straight away if its alternator or not.
