Aye, get a multimeter across the battery just to double check.

Diesels don't need an electrical source (battery) to run in their basic function once they have been started, so disconnecting it won't do owt.

il get a mulimeter on to it, if the cars started the voltage should be about 12v+? if its started it should be running higher (eg. 14.4v) ??

Anything above 13V when started would suggest the charging system is in working order.

Can take the battery off my Golf when running and it will be fine. The alternator provides sufficient current. Not advisable to do mind. I have however used this to start a flat Polo with no jump leads.
