    Hi

    The battery light comes on my dashoard every now and then there recently. It only happens while the car (Ford Fiesta) is in the lower gears and then it flashes off and everything seems fine when I am driving. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

    Firstly Check that the cells in the battery are topped up with water
    Secondly, it sounds as if the altenator is not charging the battery fully, make sure the battery connections are good and tight also.
