It always starts very easily when i first get in it,but the light comes on soon after then it cuts out. This happens most days,but the odd day it drives ok and doesnt do it. Its a good little car in every other way.(Could it be the Alternator maybe?) If you can help me,please message me. Thanking you in advance,cheers Shelly...

I have the problem solved i think........was the distrib. Cap..had a lot of cracks in it...cheers Shelly..
