That would indicate either a duff battery dragging Alternator output down, or a duff alternator me thinks....

Would expect a bit more output thatn that!!

No P38 is going to like standing for a month, especially if it has the old RF receiver waking the BECM up and draining the battery.

but the battery became totally knackered so in theory when the new battery was put on the boot and central locking should work ?
