Hey guys. My 1991 1.9D (1Y engine) battery light is flickering on and off (though more on than off) when the engine is at higher revs. My voltmeter reads a steady 13.8v but this drops to 13.1v when at higher revs. Could this be the voltage regulator?

Thank you for your reply, I shall not worry about it any further then
