Hi Geordie,

The high voltages sounds like the reason for the faults. The regulator is more than likely stuffed. Try, http://www.findapart.co.uk for a cheap secondhand replacement alternator. I just got one for my missus, denzil cavalier for 25 quid from there. :cheesy:
Good luck, and thrash it at EVERY opportunity!! 8)

Welton....

Not only can you not spell, but you seem to have lost control of your English grammar AND your computer skills ie quotes :P

Pay attention in future or I will have to get the horse whip out :cheesy:
And because of that quote, supafrisk, you've now got the tag "Horse Whipper"...

tee hee. Sometimes i love being the admin :D

Thanks,
Nick

I should have cash end of next week to get it looked at. :)

So its looking more likely to be an alternator then?
Supafrisk

Have just had a word with Gaz, and he says it's the alternator, you've got an unstabilized voltage fault and you need a load test doing on the alternator cos he reckons it's banging out too many volts. He says I should have remembered this as the lemon I used to drive did this and it boiled up a perfectly good battery.
