Sounds like a waste of time testing it, I suspect the brushes are worn out and in any case the regulator it's incorrect for modern batteries. It's easy enough to swap the regulator, comes with new brushes, can be done with the alternator in situe but easier with the alternator off the car the first time.
Do you have a good link to where I can get one from please

new regulator ordered .Many thanks for all the help
Bit of advice please. When putting new regulator on do I leave the cover holding brushes in place until its fitted or do I take it off first and then fit. Thanks in advance

I'm very sorry I can't remember, I'm on autopilot when I do that as I have done so many but I think it stays on.
Cheers Keith
