    When I use indicators the battery light comes on. Checked terminal on battery and loose wires and all seems ok.
    Tick over a bit low too.
    Any pointers?
    Cheers

    fan belt slipping a bit & causing drain on your battery?

    Seems tight. The battery light doesn't flash with hazards only indicators.
    I changed a indicator bulb yesterday so ill check that in morning.

    The indicator warning light and battery light should be separate sounds like a earth problem.
    I would guess the plastic insulator on the back of the dash clocks has been moved and shorted out or you have knocked the earth on the back of the dash clocks.

    Ok I'll check behind dash too as could have rattled.

    Cheers for pointers :)
     
  11. is it when you indicate to either side or does it happen with both? Mine did this and it was a bad earth on the rear light cluster.

    btw I can tell you a good way of making it stay on permanently Grrrr!
     
  12. I'd agree with a bad earth.
     
  13. as above tracking through bad/shared earth
