i check the wire at the back its fine done all this before i spent £125 lol . thanks for that thow but think the problem lyes undernaeth the dashboard .

finally i found the problem with the battery light staying on then off then on again . it turned out to be the warning light battery wire . has rub or bared through against the body or something . which in turn cuased to blow the aleternator regulator and diodes aswell . so just got mine alternator recondition a second time lol the spark put a bypass wire in so the alternator would get swicth on . all in its cost £125 later yayyy lol . oh the spark used a live ignition feed from a plug underneath my water expansion tank .

Dont know if the Omega and Carlton have the same setup.

On my Carlton there was a sinsile small wire off the back of the alternator (as well as the thicker wires) this had a spade connector on it and the wire started to braek near the spade connector.  Maybe worth checking.

Check all the earths too, it's a common fault on V6's

Doest the battery negative lead get hot?

pardon me but what it indicates if it does? My negative terminal is actually melted to the "battery coat" :-/

  High resistance mate - as said separate/disconnect neg terminal and thoroughly clean inside of terminal and battery terminal until both shiney.  Reconnect and protect with a smear of vaseline.
