Check your breather hoses that they haven't split. On my agu the culprit was the s shape pipe which is located behind the dipstick going into the bottom of the intake manifold.

Electrics all went a bit haywire, Battery now isn't charging! and i can't work out why! All i did was unplug 2 plugs and replace them  :sad:

Any ideas? Battery light is up on dash.

yeah i tried that  :cry: all properly in place all clean connections. The small nut that holds the thick earth cable onto the alternator is just holding the wire isnt it? (Not the main nut that hold the earth on.)
