Good evening electrical wizards ( and everyone else) I inadvertently left the ignition on for two hours on a Disvcovery 3. Started ok but battery light now permanently on. I presume something very expensive has burnt out? Any help much appreciated.

Took my disco 3 to my local garage to see if they could sort out the PDC. The system was faulty when I bought the 2005 motor about a year ago but I wasn't too concerned at the time. However as it seemed to be the only fault I finally decided to give my local friendly garage a little job to see...
