Hi all,
After been stood for 6 weeks I seem to have a problem.
Battery light is flashing randomly.
Charge voltage peaks at 17V plus from 14V approx.
The clocks randomly stop working and drop to zero.
Voltage regulator maybe?
Thanks.
Lee.

Looks to be a likely culprit 
Have you checked the batteries in the multimeter

Meter is new and calibrated
It was the wire in the loom from the alternator, you couldn't see. It just had a very high resistance.
