he changed the alternator the other day for a known good one and it's still the same,I swapped over the ignition relay thinking that was it (black on back right of fuse box) but it's still the same any one got any ideas.

Checked the fuses and they were all ok,
the car starts ok, but doesn't charge has no rev counter and the ignition lights don't work until you rev the engine and then the alternator light comes on, forgot to mention that in the first post..oops!!
