I will do leads and plugs next. However I am suss on the alternator/regulator.

I might run some leads and monitor with a DMM, I don't really trust the cluster at the moment.
And as a curveball a tapping or knocking noise has now appeared, I've got it on video and will start another thread. |
The alternator is a know fault and I have seen engines stall because of them.
If you throw your DMM on it and it drops below 14v at idle, then it isn't charging properly.
I have seen some drop as low as 11v will all the accessories on.
