  1. Recently had a new battery on my megane old one was dead. When driving the car hard i get a battery light come on the dash to the right of speedo and also the stop sign lights up. Anyone else had this problem I have no idea what it could be? Battery is brand new thought this would sort the problem but it hasn't.. help. Many thanks
     
  2. Probably a loose earth cable. I get it sometimes straight after hard acceleration, stays on for a few seconds then it clears.

  3. Does alternator charges your battery properly?
    Way to check is:
    start engine
    Get voltmeter prongs on battery terminal
    Should read around 14V ish.
    If reading is lower then alternator does not charge the battery at all or not enough.

  5. Sounds exactly the same as mine ! It says ok after and goes away
     
  6. I have bought something to check it, car is still under warranty until 2020 so will not have to come out of my pocket if new alternator is needed
