I would check the voltage but can't get a voltmeter now til Monday at work. I'll have to book it into the garage then for them to look at. Any idea how much a new alternator is if I do happen to need a new one? | |

im almost sure if ure battery light is on all the time it is warning u that it isnt bein charged which would point the finger towards the alternator. | |

your alternators probably on its way out! thats what the battery light comes on for, warning that your alternators fooked!;) have it checked out mate! your battery should be 12v without engine running, engine running it should have more voltsge through it, not sure on exact figure but presume around 13.5-14v, if it aint your alternator aint charging your battery! | |

I just went out and checked the brake fluid level and it is fine. Any other ideas? | |

firstly check you'r brake fluid level, if thats low, that will explain you'r h/brake light being on. | |
