Yea, thanks. its ok I think we got that covered. Its a 2 wire-single phase alt. But the point I was trying to make was that the wires are marginal to cope with the current as standard, they are too thin and poor quality so the connections need to be really good but even then the wires can burn out/melt and cause rec failure. Just saying 'cos I had so many problems with my 748 which is the same. The alternator wire is crap. fit better/thicker wire that can cope with the current or it will fail again.
