problem with battery alt or battery
Hi i have a ea ford wagon and the alt light comes on when at low revs. I have taken it to a macanic and had the battery tested and he said it was the alternator so he fixed it. But it is still doing the same problem and if i drive at night the lights flatten the battery. If i park and idle a while the alt light will come on and the battery will go flat. i took it back to him and he said it will get better but has not. I think he is a rip off. Has any one got any ideas as to what i should do as i am thinking of haveing a go at replacing what ever it turns out to be myself. Any help would be great.
 p.s. the light will go out when at medium to high revs and will keep the battery charged but while idling for 5 minutes or more "FLAT"

Re: problem with battery alt or battery
Did the voltage regulator get replaced? If not, replace it.
