Hi Nigel. Had a poke around with mine earlier and found 13.8V at the battery with engine running. After scratching the detritus from the battery terminal posts this showed a healthy 14.6V, so no problem with the alternator. I turned my attention to a small cable coming off the negative post leading to the subframe. Two other earth wires meet it at the point where a bolt holds them to the subframe. One leads to the mounting plate of the coil the other goes into the wiring loom heading towards the fuse box. I cleaned them all up and reconnected, turned the car into a mobile darkroom and looked for a glow on the charge lamp - couldn't see anything. Will look again tonight after dark.
Incidentally, the previous owner of Q2-340 had put in the wiring loom from an XR3 with the intention, I think, of fitting the Zetec engine. I have a host of redundant wires and connectors floating around. One day in my retirement I might completely rewire it.
