Alternator???

[DaddyA]

Hi all,

thought everything was alright with the alt, charging etc engine stopping no problems??? So I thought.

Ran the car yesterday, bit of revs etc. Thought I'd check all was ok, battery was showing 16V across the terminals, Now I'm no electrical whizz but that's a bit much, Tried it today and its nearly 17V and the engine won't stop now.

I'm assuming its the alt that F**ked and hopefully that extra charge is keeping it running.

Has anyone else had this problem, anyone got a spare alternator?

I'll give it ago tomorrow but I'll dis-connect the alt and see if she stops (hopefully), don't want to fry the battery.

All ideas appreciated
