Been having me tea, Chaps. Thanks for all of the replies.
Ok, I've been back out with the meter
Engine off = 12.46v (lower than before)
heater plugs on = 12.30v
Starting = 10.57v (lowest value I saw flash up on the meter)
Tick over = 13.89v (lower than before)
Headlights on and fan full on = 13.64v
Constant revs = 13.64v
I know batteries can go at anytime, but it's only 2yrs old
battery terminal are nice and clean with good connections. No grease on terminals.
Haven't checked earths tonight or connections tonight. However, earth was rubbed down, clean and shiny just over two years ago. But, also might have deteriorated I suppose. I took the connections off the alternator mid January to see if it was causing the current leak. Connections seemed good.
Do those new figures add more evidence towards a particular conclusion?
