have fiddled about and the drain is down to 2.3 amps, one of the wires was shorting onto the case.

when i've got the alternator connected (and drawing 2.3amps) i dont get any ignition/battery lights, but if i disconnect the main wire to the alt i get all the ignition lights.

With that all disconnected the car starts fine and runs well (off a full charged battery).
