hi all just a small question , battery light , if it comes on when driving ( i know it could be a falt with the alternator) but it does not come one when driving in the day , but when at night it just lights up , just about see it glowing , on and off , but when i slow down and use indercaters it glows then when i put the revs on it goes , battery does not seem flat . i have put a battery tester on the battery when engine running and says all good ?? i did try the old rev the engine and see if your lights glow more , but dont think they did . what do you think ?? how much to get it reconditioned / new one
thanks
Dave

Maybe just a loose connection-if alternator was too bad you would have flat battery very quickly.
