Ok probally a dump question but here goes.
My battery light keeps coming on whilst driving. Had a look in the manual and says that it could be either over charging or discharging and to get the circuit checked. Just a bit worried as this happened on my 205 and it ended up being the alternator.
Any idea's???
Cheers

chances are your battery terminal(s) has come loose, $hite renault design strikes again!
I had that on my 1.4. :oops:
Was the voltage regulator on the altinator.
Get a recon one, Ive got the number somewhere for a top bloke in the midlands if you want. Was about 40/50 quid i think.
Does the light go out when you rev it harder by chance?...

More than likely the alternator mate. check the connections to it and the battery connections. In the end it will just stay on and your car will stop lol

Bugger, I'd get someone off here to do it if you dont fancy tackling it your self. Save you a fat wedge!+give someone some spending money.
