When this happened on our D1 we found the connection to the alternator was okay, but the alternator was failing. New alternator fixed it.
Is your tacho playing up? From memory it also comes off the alternator.

the light coming on dimly has 2 common causes IME
1. as mentioned the brushes lifting off of the slip rings in the alternator,
2. corrosion in the fuses that drive the alternator excite circuit and ignition side.
there are some other less common ones and of the less common ones the excitation side of the internal voltage regulator blocking diode is common BUT its failure is usually caused and masked by a failing regulator pack diode.
