Thanks for the replies, The alternator is cold before starting the engine. Voltage readings are battery 12.4 after leaving overnight. Alternater voltage at battery 900 rpm 14.8 2000 rpm 14.75. A little high maybe?

I'm getting around 12.3 and 14.4......which I believe is in the 'normal range'

I havnt had time to check my alternator under load but I took the car back to the garage today and they say that the alternator was not charging under load. We all knew that there was something wrong with it. Another new one being fitted under guarantee :y

Garage fitted new alternator under guarantee. They said that towing my caravan had overloaded the previous  alternator. Any comments?

Towing a caravan should not fry an alternator. It's faulty. Or they fitted the wrong one.

There for they are talking......
