i have 2 problems if anyone can help thanks?
1: my oil pressure light keep jumping up and down even when ive only got the ignition on and its not running???????????

2: the other night my battery light came on so i left it a couple of days then used the car again to find that when i started driving it

the volt meter was reading offf the gauge and the air bag light and engine management lights were coming unless i put the heated

seats and the heated rear window on then it droped the volt meter went down to about 14 volts and they went off again? but today ive used

the car again but the volt meter reads 10 volts while the car is running, so im thinking its the alternator but has anybody else got any ideas?

thanks brett
