My battery light flashes occassionally and then goes out.
Happens once a fortnight at the most.

Any ideas of what it could be or how to test the unit? It was a new unit 2 years ago.

:driving: :bang:

Check the brushes on the regulator on the alternator. For more information search the site.

Check that the terminals are sitting tight and the wire that connects to the terminals is nice and tight. Get someone to wriggle the wire and connections while you sit in the car watching for the battery light.

As per what michaelw said. The brushes on the regulator are supposed to be serviceable down to 4mm, but mine started playing up at only 7mm. Easy job to do yourself, do a search for more help.
