Hi Folks 

I have an issue with the battery light coming on whilst driving along with the start stop off light 

ford briefly tested the battery and alternator and they said they were fine as they disconnected the battery to test it the light stayed off,5 days later it’s back on.
Ford are taking it in on the 23rd to study further I am wondering if the Battery is on its way out?

    It is more likely to be an Alternator fault.
