battery light

s.mac · 13-07-2009, 07:38 PM

my battery light started to occasionally flash red at my recent croft track day. I thought it may be because it was getting a work out but now it comes on and off more frequently? any ideas ?
thanks

yeh, prob the regulator playing up, it will eventually fail, flattening your battery leaving you stranded

I'd get that one checked out soon ... if it's the alternator, it can leave you completely stranded.
