3 times I have taken the car out now with a voltage meter plugged in so I can monitor the charge.
On all occasions the charge doesn't kick in until the volts drop to the low 10's and then for some reason it goes up to 14 where it should be.
Its almost like something is telling it not to charge the battery until the volts drop to a low level.
Need to understand this before I start looking at a new alternator - they are $1000 in Aus plus installation.

Cheers
