This is at startup.
Both Battery and Oil Pressure lights very bright - normal.

This whilst driving
Fade brightness of the battery and oil pressure lights.
Definitely on and it FLICKERS constantly.
But disappears once stationary at lights.

Any ideas?

Have you had the battery and alternator tested?
Check your alternator yourself in less than 10 seconds with an electronic meter.

If you don't have a meter, go into OBD dash diagnostics and monitor the battery voltage>
The test No. 9
The output should be 14.3 - 14.5 volts with engine running.

So if not battery....


...what's causing my flickering battery/oil pressure like to come on whilst driving?


Though - it didn't come on when I was in OBD - so could be a lose connection???

Wayne after purchasing your car I am now looking for a solution to the same fault which you forgot to mention during the sale negotiations. I am just wondering did you find out what was causing the issue?

As you can guess I am also now suffering with the same flickiering.:duh:
