The light behind the dash might be out..
Try a new battery if you can

There have been instances reported on the F Register forum of alternators failing but without the dash warning light coming on.
Personally I'd be 95% certain it's the alternator from what you describe, and would be looking at a replacement as my first port of call.

Glad you got it sorted £20 isn't so bad considering how much these cars cost at times! |
