Basically I disconnected the battery to change some wiring from the ignition to the iso connector to the headunit, so took that out and replaced it, but when I reconnected the battery, it starts up fine, but then after about 20 seconds the alternator light flashes and the engine cuts out, what is wrong with the car????
Cheers for any help.

Could it be fuel pump, as my mate who is a mechanic said his cousins car did the same, and ended up being fuel pump, my car has almost 103k miles on it btw, and is a 96 1.2 8v.

make sure everything is connected as its more than likely something youve done, as its happened after you've touched wiring.

Yeah, that's what I mean, and Richard, the car did it to me 2 weeks ago aswell before I even touched the wiring, plus my garage have said that what I did shouldn't affect it, so gonna tow it to them, and see if they can fix it.
