Knackered alternator
Fan belt broken

If the fan belt is still working, take it to a garage to check the voltage while running. Should be 13-15v. Anything less will cause the light to come on.

It can overcharge aswell as undercharge, both but make the light come on. I have the same ploblem, mines overcharging so it still works so I havnt got round to changing it, woops

So the belt was broken - that's good new as you fixed it for cheap!

However, why would you buy a multimeter when every quick fit, autosave, halfords will check it for free?
