Flower Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi all, I have an electrical problem what has happened is the old alternator seized and started slipping. I have changed it for a new one and I still has the same problem. I then put a new battery and it's holding more charge, but still not sitting at 14.5v it's floating around 12. Does anyone have any ideas ? I have try earthing the batter straight to the chassis/gearbox/engine and still no joy ? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
