Thanks for that Barbados. Much appreciated. 'Every day is a school day' as they say.

Fair one. Il do that above and double check. The latest readings are most accurate as the other readings where based off a cheap digital display with a feed from the cigarette lighter. If it drops below 14v with everything on then it would be an alternator fault ? I hate electrics. Give me...

Sound! Il get a new alternator ordered later in the evening. Thanks for all the help guys

Thanks Er1c! I have to agree! :)
