Warning Lights

[Mousey]

Hello all. I took my car out this morning and three lights came on and stayed on - the battery light, the handbrake light and brake hydraulics light. It’s been raining here so could water have got in? This has never happened before.

All those lights, except the battery light, are legally required to have a 'test' function every time the car is started. The test starts when the ignition is turned on and ends when the voltage on the blue wire from the alternator reaches a certain level. The battery light is also controlled by this same blue wire, so it looks likely the alternator is not producing the correct voltage on it.
The cause can be anything from a broken belt, through a poor earth for the alternator to worn out brushes in the regulator pack.
Move the air filter out of the way, unscrew the regulator pack from the back of the alternator, and check the brushes.

A snapped alternator belt it is. Thanks all for your help - much appreciated. It gave me a starting place to look.
