Re: battery light on dash
Has the yellow wire on top of the alternator got 12v when the engine is running. Also are the 2 wires (yellow and purple) the right way round, its very easy to get them the wrong way round.
Re: battery light on dash
yellow usually closer to the engine?

Check the earth that goes to the front of the block. Exposed to all kinds of cr@p. Mine had correded causing a similar problem. Once I started handling it it just fell apart.

Get your jack out and get the drivers side front wheel up and off, next take your torch and take a look at the back of the starter motor, there should be 3 wires going to it, 1 is a small grey or black wire, this should be connected on its own, 2 should be a thick black or grey wire connected with a ring connector along with the third wire which should be red.
I'll bet that either wire 2 or 3 has broken off or has touched the downpipe and has burnt out, fix it and you'll be fine
