Thanks for the replies. I haven't checked the gearbox earth but the garage it was in before have actually relocated the engine-battery earth with a second cable? This alternator does have a two pin socket on it but only a one pin connecter from the loom? could this be the connection for the wire thats supposed to excite the diodes on this particular alternator, hence no charge? Could i give this pin a feed and see if it begins to charge or is that a no no! I replaced the battery at the start as it was completley dead so that should be ok, its a bosch bat.
Voltage is the same at the alternator as it is at the Battery.
Thanks again and keep em coming
Also i tried uploading the image but it kept telling me "invalid Format"??
