    hello tony,

    thanks for your informative answer very usful thankyou,

    Just a question probley a simple question really.

    Basicly i have my 2v on ignition then on start up the batt light doesnt come on when running (but never did on the orginal fault in which the RAC thought short inside the alternator). When running the D+ goes to 11v and so does the B+ and is identical to across the battery.

    could this probley be a faulty new alternator??

    Then i stripped the fues box to check for dry joints ect and found nothing but put it back in and no starter moto, but when i made iit start by shorting the starter and was running it was charging at 13v then got the starter working againg by stripping fuse box againg then put back and the bloody alternator woudnt charge then (11v) again.

    Sorry for the long post, its doing my head in now.

    many thanks
    mike
