Alternator/Battery problem.
Hi all
Strange 1 this sometimes on a cold morning driving along for the 1st 2 miles or so the battery light is faintly visable.Also when you turn the ignition key to the 1st position the battery light pulses faintly.The car always starts 1st time & 2 years ago it had a brand new alternator.

Just a little update the car started 1st time this morning however the wipers were working slow the heater although on full blast didn`t seem like it then petrol guage started jumping.Went to fill up with petrol started it up again & bingo everything working as per normal went to a mates garage who tested the battery & the alternator who said its charging fine & to put the battery on trickle charge then clean up the alternator connections.He said its a cold weather problem.
