Just a friendly pointer, capitals on forum posts are considered as shouting, please don't use them :y
Are you sure its charging correctly?
Have you put a volt meter on it? Get some reads of off/idle and with say 3k revs?

thanks

Thats not what I meant, have you run volt meter across it with engine running?
Its possible the alternator is not giving it enough power.
With engine running, I believe it should give around 14.4v ish. If its not, the alternator is tired :y
