Right...tried the meter across the terminals of the battery and it doesn't register more than 12.2V regardless of revs. I take it this should be upto 13.5V ish as other cars ?? So it's looking like an alternator issue any help would be much appreciated as there is one on ebay at a sensible price.
hi mate if you stick up a thread in the correct area then im sure some one will reply
 
My Astra has an X18E1 engine. I have had the car since new, it has done 310,000 kilometres. I have replaced the ECM, fuel pump and replaced the cam belt (and idler) at regular intervals. I have maintained the coolant regularly and have never had to change the water pump. I have serviced the engine at about 7,500 kilometre intervals with a good quality mineral oil and the engine is still as good as the day I bought the car except for leaking cam cover and oil filter housing gaskets (now replaced - no more oil leaks). My only issue is a clunk in the front suspension that I can't find.
