I've had this for years, it's the alternator output is too low, I believe.

Was it you that just had your head done
Might be the belts are slipping a bit
If not you can get repair kit for alternators or get them rebuilt
Gas safe heating engineer / plumber if you need any advice just shout.

I had the same issue with mine. A new alternator was required. Ordered one from AVA - matched any other price I could find for something half decent.
