Really pissing me off now, just changed the alternator as the voltage regulator was fcked, now its constantly charging at 11-12.5v doesnt change when rev'd etc, wtf??? tried a diff battery as well, any ideas??

Have you checked all the earths are good? battery to body? body to engine/gearbox etc??

Yeah they all look ok might try changing the connectors on the battery terminals but can never find a good way of connecting all the bare wires onto the terminals?

You need to get some proper terminals, and solder them onto the wires to do it properly!

Think the regulator on the alternator maybe the wrong one as its constantly supplying the voltage at 12v doesnt change with revs etc, even with the old broken alternator it was charging at 16v so the wires are definately capable of it.
