When engine is switched off and key removed the red batterie warning light on the dash stays on. That does not look normal to me. A few hours later the battery is totally discharged. What could be the problem? I hope it can be fixed easily and it will not be too expensive. I hope someone can help me out here.
My car is a 3 door hatch Nissan Micra Colette 1986, 998cc, manual, runs a sweet as a nut otherwise and I try to get some fun with it.
cheers

Almost certainly an internal fault in the alternator (probably a shorted diode)
