have you thought your alternator is on the way out, I had similar faults when my alt went on my MG

Test the alternator output, see here for info-

Garages and kwik-fit type places will often test free of charge, it only takes a couple of minutes.
Get it tested at a couple of places if they tell you it's not working properly, they have been known to lie to get you to fit a new one!!
