The regulator you want is Mobiltron, unfortunately I have lost the var number after my computer crashed but it begins with VR- I think.
VR-VW010?

Correct my new alternator came with a mobiltronThe regulator you want is Mobiltron, unfortunately I have lost the var number after my computer crashed but it begins with VR- I think.
Mobiletron VR-VW010 is the regulator you want, find it on Ebay
Yes, that's the one and it's back in my filing system thanksVR-VW010?

12.43 volts is very low IMO, mine stick at 12.6 volts after dropping from 12.8 a couple of hours after shutting the engine off.Did a quick test. Had 12.43 volt (engine been off for 20hours)
Started it up, measured volt go to 14.2 then slowly up to 14.36 after a few seconds idling.
Had lights on, radio on.
doesnt that seem fine?
The lead calcium battery fitted to your car needs a higher voltage to fully charge than older types of battery. At 14.3 volts it will take many hours to fully charge. Batteries not kept in a good state of charge die fairly quickly. Lead Calcium are not designed to withstand becoming discharged, their function is to provide the short duration high current needed to start the car, once running the battery's only function is to smooth the alternator output and absorb demand spikes.So should i buy the voltage regulator, and swap it out. Will that say i have a 14.3-4 volt regulator on my car? Or is it just a old 14.7 slowly screaming its last time?
Why would my battery not fully re-charge when it's rechargin 14.3-3.6 ish volts from alternator? Is this perhaps due to my aftermounted radio drawing current? and car itself drawing current...
In theory a new voltage regulator with higher volt would charge my battery i assume?
I didn't get the gearbox fault warning now as i tested it and took ignition on and off... Weird... Got a tailgate bulb failure tho, might be due i slammed the back abit bcus my electric meter was back there....
If the battery is sealed with no topping up, it's a lead calcium battery. It's almost impossible to buy a car battery that is not lead calcium.But, i dont have a lead calcium battery. I have a lead acid? @Datatek
i had a lead calcium before, but that battery was bad.. i discharged it several times troubleshoting etc
Im very confused. This is the battery i have https://provolt.no/product/skanbatt-startbatteri-12v-110ah-1000cca-330x171x217-242mm-midtstilt/
I really dont know what that is It's atleast under the category of Lead acid batteries.
Is AGM the calciums? Or does that page not sell calcium batteries... or are they in the same category as acid batteries?
Different battery chemistry's have small variations in voltage so between 12.6 and 12.8 is full charged after the battery has lost the surface charge. 12.4 is half charged if you are a glass half full person or half flat if you are a glass half empty person.Well i have purchased the regulator. I suppose this should fully charge my battery. I read that 12.4volt is considerer charged, but 12.6 should be full full.
It was just 3 screws on the back of the alternator rigth? Anything to take care off? No need for taking other parts off?

£300 for a battery The Hankook MF31-1000 is less than £100 delivered and is the best battery that I have come across by far, I have 6 of them As Brian said you need to charge the battery, it will take the alternator a very long time to fully charge the battery even with the correct regulator.Absolutly half full
I like to have things, as they should be. So my battery volt must be fixed. I ain't paying 300quid for a new same battery next year

Much easier to remove the alternator IMO.
