Hi Ben,

I would say you have a faulty alternator.

would that throw the sub tank and hand break warning lights on and the A/T ? my drive belt tensioner needs replacing but the belt is still intact

Just a stab in the dark but have you checked fuses??

[Yendor]

Yes it can.

Grab yourself a multimeter, with engine at a fast idle measure the voltage across the battery terminals.

If the alternator is charging you should get a reading of around 14 volts.

How many Ks has it done?

checked the su tank fuse it was fine. i didnt have time to full go thre everything. the only idea i have is the could b a earthing problem seeing as the sub tank auto trans and handbreak are all in the same area this could ba a possability but i have to get under there in the daylight to see but the alternator is the 1 that has throwen me. all thease problems came up at the same times
