That's interesting, looks like the shop sold me the wrong/faulty alternator. I suggested this but the owner started mumbling about faulty relays so i left it. Strange thing is it charges the battery no problems but the ignition lights staying on with the key out is annoying. cheers for info

mine done this again last nite how strange i checked the alternator n bat this mornin and all is fine i got in car switched it off n they went out hymmmmmm lol
the only relay is the resister on the back off the alternator other then that there is no more inline is there? im sure!

I cleaned the loop terminals back to bright copper on the alternator and engine earth straps when i was changing my head and clutch over and it's been perfect since ..so might be worth doing :)

arh mite av to do that then

my lights are stayin on again grrrr how annoying
