If you don't need that bulb be illuminated, you can do like that If the ground pin will be connected to alternator, that bulb will work like alternator light should - it will be illuminated when alternator won't be working and it will go out after alternator will start to work.

I described it as such so the bonnet wouldn't have to opened every time the engine was started. |

...or engine revved...
If I would have such a problem, I wouldn't bother and would rev the engine, as connecting alternator to some bulb - that's too much effort for lazy arse like me... |

Not found the relay yet you mentioned, unless it is the one in the dash I have pulled that made no difference.

On a "normal" set up this would work, as yours has the flashing light/relay set up and there's a chance the problem is with dash(?) then maybe it wouldn't work? I don't know is my honest answer............MSH !

Latest update.....
A little confused but that is nothing new for me. Have been getting stressed with this issue and especially as I could not work out the relay I had to pull...... so.... looked at the fuse box and disconnect loads of bits, and reconnected just what I needed to get car running and replace afew connectors, and...... well started car battery light on still with flashing temperature light still. Touch the accelerator and the lights go out and VDO reads a happy 13.5v Carried on reconnecting things and making sure they are where they make sense being and well just done a 12 mile drive and car feels sweet. Thank you guys for putting up with me
