Hi Andy,
the vehicle was stood for a while prior to my purchase and since then my attention as been on other parts of the l/r.
but you are correct there was up until two weeks ago a fault on the charging system, which i finally tracked down to the earth connection in the battery box, at best i would only be getting 5amps charge but most of the time nothing, after finding and fixing the fault i now see 40-70amp on the meter most of the time.
so yes you where correct in your thinking but the problem was fixed, but still leaves me with the battery problem.
