Hey all.

My ralliart is playing up now and then. The battery light comes on and the srs and antilock lights all come on and off and the lights dim as well.
I have recently installed and uninstalled a supercharger to the car which as you know is driven off the alternator belt etc.
Has any1 had these symptoms b4?. it seems to me that the alternator maybe dying or losing charge but i thought i would ask the question b4 i go replacing stuff.

Cheers

First thing to check would be the tension in the alternator belt.
