seems like its not charging.. check the battery heads and alternator connections..

if its not a connection problem, alternator must be serviced asap..

Doesn't sound good.  :(

ailing either of them, find a decent local autospark and get your repaired rather than buying a 'recon' alternator.

yup with the amount of salt etc on the road give all connections a good spray with switch cleaner and give a good clean on the alternator, check battery leads are secure and not fraying or loose in the crimp, if this doesnt cure it then go down the route of getting  the alternator tested/repaired :y
