The problem is the ignition lights do not always come on weather the car be hot or cold? i'm thinking dodgy connection to ignition barrel or something?
Anybody any other ideas?

alternator was first guess you could check the charging with a multimeter to rule that out. oh and check the connections on the battery are clean and greased. could be a dry connection

I will check the ingition wireing etc, as somtimes the ignition lights flicker as if it is a loose connection somewhere?
any common places where the connections brake?
