Normally this means the alternator is not charging,have you got 13/14v at the battery when the engine is running?if not the alternator's fubar.Just realised your the chap weith the earth lead question,did you sort that?it could be a related problem,try clamping a jump lead from the engine or gearbox to the batttery see if that helps.

hi. i did find the earth strap on my box. the alternater is charging the battery as i have tested it with a multimeter. the car runs fine and starts ever time its just annoying with the light being on. im going to try the jump leads from my box to chassis see if that helps. its just so confused

thank for the advice
