Covered in oil is not a good start. I had a 405 where the power steering pump seeped fluid onto the alternator which soon led to a flat battery. Good news was that after a clean up of the brushes etc it was charging good as new. Pump was fixed on the cheap as well with some 'liquid metal' or whatever its called.

Ok ive changed the alternator, the poxy top nut was a sod but at least its done now and all appears to work ok now. 14v at the battery now and got the alternator at the breakers for £40.

Thanks everyone for your help

Edd, from the voltages the alternator is not producing any output so you need a replacement or overhaul yours (there is a guide on fixing the common problems in the maintainance section).
Also I suspect the battery is on its last legs if you had fully charged it overnight (depends on the quality of your charger). With a working alternator you should see 14V when charging.
