Hi Geoff
That’s so very useful, thanks son much !
Are you a V6 owner too?
I should read on all the articles you have sent 😊
Is it normal for the bottom rad hose to be cold (or very little warm) after engine been ruining for about 1 hour (mix driving & stationary) ? The garage advised that after ...

Re: Alternator draining starter battery - see wiring please help
Sorry it’s a 2002 V6 Petrol
I swapped the cable around (battery voltage on the bottom connector & ignition cable on the top connector)
All looks ok, alternator it’s charging ok and no more draw when everything off

If I remove the top (white /green) which has a constant 22V supply the drain from engine battery stops
The blue wire only gets current when ...

What is this cable ?
Also if I invert cables no drain
What should I do ??
Any help very appreciated
