Unhappy Help: All my warning lights are on!!!

A couple a days ago I noticed all my warning lights came on.
They stay on continuously, whenever the Key is in the Ignition.

Can somebody please suggest to me what is actually wrong (wiring/electrical fault?) and how to fix it.

Thanks in Advance
Daniel

I think you guys are right about the altenator belt, as I also noticed my dash lights are dimmer than usual.

I'll go and have a look a bit later.

Thanks

Well... my altenator belt had broken so thanks guys.

Now to replacing it, do I need to take the fan off to put on another belt?
Is there an easy way to replace it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, you can work it around the fan a blade at a time... it will come off, just be patient.
