Dreaded Red Battery light

[DazBlackCSL]

Quick question, this is a bit weird and not the usual thing that happens when the light appears and the Alternator is a dead duck etc ( it might be )

So for over a year now, the light has come and gone, not that much on, and only for a few miles then goes out.

Started about year ago, and over that time been on and off 4/5 times, and remember I drive it every single day and normally 30 miles + each time so no short journeys, involving M4 and some country twistys.

BUT last night when pulling off the M4 it appeared and did not go out, have spent most of the day, giving it some TLC with the bucket... and when finished thought id spin round the block for 15/20 mins to see if I could shake the light out .. but not this time

So what's your thoughts on this, I have decided not to use it now, and will after 9am on monday call BM emergency recovery / service and get it into the stealer... it says not to use it when the light is on as it could overheat, and as the light has never stayed on for more than 5/10 mins, not been able to take it to them as it's running fine and with no battery light on

So all a bit strange, as everyone else ive spoken to and seen post's about this, has just broken down and come to a halt after light appears and gets the Bat / Alternator etc replaced under warranty.



any ideas chaps and chapette
