Are you sure its not the brake fluid warning light thats coming on?

Sounds to me like the single, thin wire that attaches to your alternator is either loosely attached or it's trapped somewhere, and the movement of the engine under those conditions breaks the connection.

 

I suspect the fault is either at the alternator connection itself, or more probably in the crappy brown (and perhaps corroded) brown multiplug somewhere near your gearbox.

 

Clean that connector up, or replace it entirely as it's linked to sooooooooo many similar problems it's untrue.

 

EDIT> Good (lateral) thinking Dave.
