Turned out it was the alternator, the rotor was busted.

Thanks for your help mate!

Oh I see, alright just checked it and it says 0.38 so that means a different issue?

Forget the A & E wires.

Pull the T-connector out and measure the voltage in the two wires that end in the Tee. Put voltmeter black wire on negative battery post. Put red wire in T-connector. One of the wires should have 12V. If not, you have a wiring problem.

Sorry A and E is where to 2 wires connect. Even when I pulled the T connector out of the alternator I still got 12V so does this mean that it is not the alternator but a fuse?

Or as the alternator is internally regulated, if that's faulty I'll have to get the alternator repaired hey?

A & E?

Pull the T-connector out of the alternator. Check for 12V in the two wires that attach to the connector.

See Alternator diagnoses for a boatload of tests. Or just replace the alternator, and if it's not that, then buy a new regulator and if that doesn't fix it, take it to a sparky.

Also its an 84 model so it is internally regulated

Oh right, sorry bit confused but do you mean put the voltmeter on the A and E on the alternator? If thats the case then yes I still get 12V

WAIT - no output at the alternator does not mean the alternator is bad. Test it. Do you get 12V at the T-connector? If not, that's a different problem. Could be as simple as the Regulator fuse needs replacement.

Looked through the receipt and I got it wrong he replaced the starter not the alternator.

Just checked with a multimeter and there is no change from the motor on or off so must be a shot alternator. Sorry for making a new thread thought there was a connection with all the other things!

Anyone got a spare alternator??
