Its the new type alternator cos last one had a crack in casing,
Dont do short journeys, normally about one trip of 30 miles each way once or twice a week and a couple of hundred each way every couple of weeks.
Never had any sign that battery was not fully charged
If there was battery drain then it would have shown earlier I would think.
The RF aerial was already disconnected and fob only worked when next to car.
Had charger on all last night and had to jump her this morning

What voltage do you have at the battery with the engine running?
Could be a bad connection is causing lack of charging.
