Sounds to me like the solenoid contacts are wearing out. It was a very common fault on other makes especially rovers but they are replaceable and only take a few minues work , IF you can locate some. otherwise a new alternator would be the solution.
Worth having a look at though. Could also be the switch is faulty or even the repaly but personally I would say its the solenoid from my past experiences.
Good luck
