Lost most battery power & limped home; near new battery so replaced alternator; charged battery; fine for few days then has run the battery down again. Is there a fusible link that needs replacing along with a faulty alternator? and if so where do they hide the damn thing? Best regards, Steve.

Don't think the fusible links are your problem. The following diagram may help you to confirm that connections are OK. What brand is the new alternator?

Thanks for the quick informative reply! Great diagram, thank you. It’s a Jaylec through Cooldrive .... I’ve found their parts generally very good so I’m picking it’s something I’ve missed. .
