    taco is a cable that attaches to the alternator, grey and white.. try playing with that..

    my taco sometimes plays up, but its when that cable is loose...

    if the battery light stays on, i dare say problems with the alternator? perhaps have a look at that

    Alternator diode short circuit.

    seeing it a V belt, IMHO you are best to replace with a Bosch alternator.

    Do a search and there are articles on which Bosch alternator by me and others.
