So i was driving through wrexam town centre on stopped at a set of lights. Then the battery warning light came on and steering became solid and bearly moved. It returned to normal after a few yards of driving, but the light remained, the problem continued everytime I came to a standstill. any ideas???

voltage issue, column fault? really needs checked correctly.

right i had this on my gp 1.2 do you have anything conected straigt to your battery such as amp fog lights because i had amp fog lights straight of the battery all i did was got a bigger batery and it sorted the problem out just take something of your battery such as a amp and try it again and if its fine you know its the battery!

First check the alternator belt then get a voltage and alternator test done and take it from there

Don;t go driving for miles though as the battery light being on suggests the battery isn't getting the correct charge and may therefore die on you

does it only happen when you go to wrexham

Cheers guys, will have it checked out. I don't have any amps or anything extra coming off it, so bit weird that is decided to happen randomly after no past issues. Went on the by-pass with it and the light goes off above a certain speed then comes back on when I drop below it. Wrexham is propably not at fault though.

What you had connected to it was probably irrelivent, was the fact your battery was USed and you then brought a new one
