If your connections are all good I'd say that GU alternator is cactus, but without checking with a multimeter you can't be sure.

iv checked the alternator with mulimeter and is says 14.4 at idle. could it be the starter motor solenoid?

Tap the starter motor with a hammer handle and then try and start it.

alternator all good. put a new starter motor in but the battery is draining through the central locking i think.
Howdy all, My very first post here....
I've been scouting the patrol4x4 forum and noticed they run several different alternators. The hitachi unit only runs @ 40 amps and the other @ around 100 amps. If you have installed the hitachi unit you may not have enough grunt to run the extensive electrics in the 3 litre and fill the battery at the same time. It's worth checking out.

Yeh alternator is a Hitatchi 12 volt 90 amp, standard from the GU zd30. no problem with it as it charges at 14 volts when car is idling. my reason for thinking is the central locking because when the car is running the only door that can be opened is the drivers. when that is closed it has to be unlocked for the other doors to lock. when drivers is locked the other doors cant not be opened, even with the key. when battery is flat, no problem with opening all doors properly without using the central locking unit.

diconnected the central locking but the battery is still draining. excide battery tester said the battery is all good. can anybody tell me what the battery voltage under load is supposed to be. i think mine drops to 8 volts.
