Right...! From the alternator the power is taken to one of the posts on the solenoid of the startor motor. Also connected to that post is the thick lead that runs from your batterys + terminal. Is your charging light coming on when engine is running? If it is then this could well be an alternator p...

There is heavy gauge cable from the battery to the starter motor and the output from the Alt links across to this cable via the red wires. According to the Bentley manual the two red wires are in parallel and both connect to the same point on the starter. Have a peek at the starter cable connection...

Nominal battery voltage 12 -12.6volts should increase instantly to between 13.9-14.2 when the engine is started and the red charge light goes out. Your battery simply is not recieving charge from the alternator...either there is a breakin the main lead or earth (unlikely) or you have a faulty alter...
