Hi I see you have already picked up on the other post. You need to get the battery checked 1st; a poor battery/poorly connected battery/incorrectly charged battery will produce a host of strange electrical faults. Once you know the battery is good you can then have the alternator tested. If the battery is duff there is no point in checking the alternator. It is worth noting that an apparently flat battery will have some charge if left for a while. The tests will usually be done free by a battery supplier. hi steve i will try that first looked on net and cheapest new alternator is £130-£150 so battery would be cheapest option to replace battery if need be the one thats on is only 70amp looked on info and should be 80-90amp so could be battery is on way out thank you for your advise jerryberry
