Peugeot Partner - The battery light stays on when the engine is running - starts ok - but the light just stays on and the fan on the heater, indicators, and rear heated screen doesnt come on - although the head lights and the radio do? - Any ideas?

Sounds like it's not charging; the items mentioned are fed through an alternator interlock relay.

Check the charging voltage and, if it's low, check the voltage at the back of the alternator and the volt drop in the main feed/alternator cable and the whole earth path before replacing the alternator.
