So on my VP commodore V6 I have a problem with my battery not charging all the time, I tested it and my battery gets 14.4V when charging so I think the alternator is alright, but I noticed that it is missing the clip that secures the plug onto the alternator, so my theory is that when driving the alternator sometimes isnt fully plugged in. I am also missing a few of the clips for the injector plugs.

They are the like U shaped metal clips, does any one know where i can buy some?

Get hold of the Alternator Loom/Plug from a Wrecker and splice it on the existing loom,
Again, Injector clips from a Wrecker.

Check out the OnlineAutoParts store on eBay. Lots of (new) clips there that will meet your injector/alternator needs without having to bother going to a wrecker.

Also, when removing injector plugs most people remove the clips (and loose them). If you have injector plugs that look like this,

Just push the steel clip down, pull the plug off the injector and release the clip. There is no need to remove the clip from the plug.
