    But current .. hmm fcuk what could it be :/ You may have something wired to constant voltage rather than ignition voltage and that is causing power drain when accesories is turned on. Hmm, still thinking.

    i have had issues with this battery before. i will try and hunt down another one to try. because i do remember that as the key turned over it was going from 12v down to about 9.

    Yeah 9V is too low with the headlights off. A GOOD battery should hold OVER 9.6V with headlights ON for over a year. Check it out.. let us know, would be good to know what this could be.

    im leaning towards a faulty alternator. you must have fried the diode inside the alternator.

    if your battery isolation test fails, try using another known working alternator.

    The alternator fuse is no longer blowing.
    But I have a new battery and will give it a go later tonight.
    Will it start if the alternator was disconnected??

    HAHA.. took some time but we got there. Yes it will start if alternator is disconnected but will run for maybe 10 mins before it kicks out on you.

    Don't forget to +rep

    Wtf.. wow well that sure sucks. No reverse lights at all?

    Hmm.. well just check the alternator is charging at the correct rate - should be ~13.6v at idle and up to ~14.2v when loading it up.

    Was your fan working before? Check if fuses are blowing first as they are accessible and check globes. Were you reverse lights working before too?

    yeah its about 14.5 at idle :/ never really checked while uunder load. but its charging now so hopefully ill get a kick tomorrow to check that out.
    and yeah it was before the swap. think it was running before the spark issue too.
    ill check all fuses romorrow also in case one has blown. had a cel but it only shows while running so i cant get the code :/
    and reverse havent worked since before swap :/
