It is indeed ground or zero volts and not an 'earth'

If the vehicle will start then its not the strap from battery to engine thats an issue.

Usual cause would be a regulator failure, rectifier failure would generaly give a dim light due to reduced output where as solid light is more often than not no output.

Now alternators are pretty simple things and easily serviced by a compitent home mechanic, bearing replacement is the more challenging job and regulator replacement being dead easy to do.

Regulators are easy enough to get hold of for sub 20 pounds, to get the right one you will need the manufacturers part number (e.g. the Bosch part number)
