Yep i'd suggest the alternator is not charging the battery. Either the alternators knackered or its a related wiring issue.

sounds like alternator knackered or maybe dodgy earth connection somewhere

hi. car now fixed. fitted a second hand alternator,gave the battery a full charge and away i went. looks like the low voltage from my battery was making the car throw up allsorts of fault codes.
