Driving back from Chester this afternoon and my battery light started flickering, but not when stationary. Got home and checked it with a multimeter and i am getting 14.35v with the radio,ac and interior lights on.

I presume this a about right, i also had a new battery fitted a few months ago.

Any ideas?
 
Belt tension?
Sometimes an occasional flickering light is a sign the alternators on its way out, brush wear common cause, how many miles as it done?
 
I agree, at higher revs the brushes lose contact hence the flickering light, on tickover it often seems ok.
120K so would say plan getting a new one soon, or rebuild the old one (depending on model)
