Dash light problems. Alternator?

Post by Scott25 »

Well chaps... it seems various dash lights are staying on when I start the car these days, and then after a minute or two sitting at idle she dies. Also the interior lights start dimming and flickering.

For the record, I believe the lights are...

Battery
Engine Compartment Cooling Fan Warning Light
Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

All glowing a warm, rosy red :(

I'm assuming the alternator has had it but can any one of you fine gentlemen tell me otherwise?!

All help and info greatly appreciated as to the best course of action
