Thanks Cooljess76

I did check and they were fine. Finally broke down and bought a battery load tester.
At rest the battery is fine. Under load 1v. If I boost the car and let it idle for a bit i can remove the booster battery. When I put on a load it stalls the car. If I leave the booster battery on and put a load test on the charging system it falls bellow 11v or fail.

I am assuming its a alternator which took out the battery.

Sigh... Going shopping on Monday for parts.

Thanks again
Peter
