battery light coming on.............

Shocked


battery light on dash has started coming on, but goes out after 10/15 mins driving............when disco is started from cold shes smokey and lumpy until theres a bit of heat in her.....

is this a case of just a new battery, or is there something more sinister going on ????

shes a '55 Auto S with 57k on her.
