Hi Guy's, Now after checking the conector/loom to the reg/rec found that a couple of pins not making very good contact- moved pins and started charging (aparently modern connector pins not as good as older ones ) and found slight water ingres in reg/rec part of connector ( faces upwards and collects all crap etc)...,resolution! loom repaired with new connector, reg/rec block replaced and relocated with new mounting bracket above and behind rad but in front of coolant tank...with me so far? have done some pic's to explain better, will try to post them, so far so good done @60mls
