Swapped the alternators this morning (afternoon really)
Took these measurements.
Old alt.
car off: 12.27V
car running: 13.6V(--) (slowly increasing) and 29.3 V(~)
'New' Alt.
Car off: 12.29V
Car running 14.2V(--) and 30.9V(~).
So the new alt is stronger, but the V(~) didn't change drastically.
I've just gone out and check the Voltage between the alt body and -ve terminal and it was 0.07V (--), so after lunch I'm going to go out and checking the earths. I might even buy some new straps etc.
I'm also planning on taking the batt to where I bought it, to get it checked, as I bought it about 355 days ago. Hopefully if it's damaged at all, I can get a new one under warranty.
