first thing is to check the wiring on the alternator..make sure its all present and correct...1 large live bolted on and a smaller blue wire that controls the warning lamp

just looked and there connected. from what i can see.

I brought a bigger battery on sat and it fitted and on the way home 2night i noticed the amp on the gauges were lower than what they were before. so this is why i checked with a multimeter
