Do I get automatic membership to the I.E.T. for not knowing what it stands for?

Oh well, there goes another possible mentor on my weary road to charterdom!

Oh and the battery was wired the wrong way round (-ve earth), so that's all sorted now. I still have what I think is a simple connection problem as sometimes the battery still drains with the lights on - the ammeter needle drops below zero - but sometimes it charges nicely. Still worth checking the alternator coils for earth shorts though I reckon. Fun isn't it!
