Sounds like alternator to me, all the electrics are run off the alternator when the engine is running

Sorry 20 it's all the symtums of a faulty alternator.

Start up the car and turn everything on one at a time.lights, radio, heater, fogs, air-con plug in phone and anything else.

If the lights start to dim it's bad news mate.

dun what you said scoobyhoo but the lights stayed the same i did notice today that when i started car up the battery sign stayed on then i reved it and it turned off

[granby]

Have you got a volt meter or can borrow one and see what the voltage is when the engine is running and when off

[20withascooby]

wil get hold of one what do i do wit hit

U put it across the battery with the engine running on the display it should read between 13 -14 volts and not far off that when you put all the lights and etc on if the display drops down to 12 volts or if the volts dont go up to what they were with all the electrics on that means your alternator's dead
